bulk up white rice with tons of cauliflower rice and peppers for a creamy, veggie-packed meal. the chicken finishes cooking right on top of the rice. one-pot magic.
This blew my mind it was so good. Husband ate 3 servings and I was mad because less leftovers for me. We just cut up the chicken and mixed it is which didn’t look good but it tasted great nonetheless. So thankful for all the veggies (also added the spinach) without skimping on chicken and rice comfort food vibes. Hall of fame add it to the rotation
I don’t know what genius recipe development happens in your brain but I basically had a freezer emergency today and needed to use up a strange assortment of poblanos, red onion, a whole bag of cauliflower rice, chicken thighs and roasted corn. I plugged them into this recipe and WOAH, SO GOOD! Can’t wait to remake properly but also very excited for lunch this week!
I love coming back to this one. Sometimes I make it a real Cajun vibe and pan fry a few shrimpies that I add on top of the rice. My other favorite is slicing up some andouille chicken sausage, pan frying and serving on top of the rice. I suppose I could do either of those options in the one pot like it’s done with the chicken, but I’m not as skilled as Caro in these nuances so I don’t mind messing up another pan - especially if I’m not on cleaning duty!
Ok ok one more question. We have made a bunch of times and always a hit. What if to reduce carbs a bit I reduced the white rice amount? Would I decrease the stock and or cooking time?
This was really good! My husband had 2nds. One caveat....my chicken breasts were only at like 140 after recommended cooking time. Next time I'll pound them down or cut in half. This time I finished them in the air fryer because I worried about overcooking the rice.
I had purchased frozen cauliflower rice when feeling virtuous and there it sat, abandoned in the same freezer spot for over a year. Finally put it to use, didn't think I would like it, ended up LOVING it. Winner-winner, cheesy cajun chicken dinner.
This was delicious and my two toddlers loved the chicken. Who knew Cajun spice would be a hit with toddlers!!
what a huge win, well done!!!!
If we use chicken thighs instead as written in subs, is that bone in or boneless
Boneless!

Hall of fame! LFG 💪🏼
Can I use frozen cauliflower rice from a bag? Or should it be the freshly riced refrigerated kind?
frozen is great! just reduce the stock by 2 tablespoons to adjust for that extra moisture from frozen versus fresh. ENJOY!
Thank you so much!!! Loveee loving your non cookbook!
I am SO GLAD ❤️❤️
Can I use leftover rice and just add it later?
Yes!! With maybe 1 cup of stock to rehydrate it and make it risotto-y

This is banging. I made for meal prep for the week and I ate a whole serving after cooking it bc DAMN it’s so tasty
This was delicious. I overcooked the chicken and it was still good ;)
Cauliflower allergy - can I still make this one?!
Just omit it!

just reduce the stock, but not the cook time! xx
Help I don’t have cajun seasoning... what else would work here?
Smoked paprika + chili powder + garlic powder + onion powder. Omit anything you don't have!

Hello! Made this last night and it was delicious. One of my family members asked if a "crunch" factor could be added. Do you have any ideas?
