Step 1

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, scallions, bell pepper, garlic; cook stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in rice and cajun seasoning. Add broth and tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. If there is excess moisture, cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes.
