Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

- Add the rice and Cajun seasoning, mixing well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Notes
Serve directly from the pan; for added flavor, garnish with fresh parsley or green onions. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Add a splash of chicken broth when reheating to prevent rice from drying out.
