Cajun BBQ Chicken Breast Rice Bowl
with Spinach, Cheese and Crispy Onions
Punchy and smoky with a spicy kick, Cajun spice mix gives any dish a tasty boost. Made with herbs and spices common in Cajun cuisine, this spice mix contains ingredients such as chilli powder, ground cumin, oregano and thyme, making it the perfect match for meat and seafood dishes, as well as pasta sauces and stews.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
- Boil a half-full kettle.
- Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
- Once hot, fry the chicken, 5-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.
- Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat.
- Boil the rice, 10-12 mins. Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
- Stir the Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), tomato puree, chicken stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry for both) into the chicken.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
- Next, add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
- Stir in the BBQ sauce, butter (see pantry) and half the cheese. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
- Share the rice out between your bowls.
- Spoon the chicken over the rice.
- Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and crispy onions.
Enjoy!
Step 1 MOD: If you’ve chosen diced chicken breast instead of thigh, cook the recipe in the same way.
