Quick Cajun Chicken and Rice. When weeknights get busy, I always make a colorful skillet dinner that practically cooks itself. This is that meal. This one-skillet chicken and rice brings smoky Cajun spice, sweet peppers, and herb butter together in one pan. I like to toast the rice first for that nutty, pilaf-style flavor and texture, then finish it with butter and fresh herbs. It’s simple, comforting, and always a family favorite.
