I've come to realize that most of the time when I cook dinner, it's always the same thing or some variation of it. Spaghetti, tacos, meatloaf, take out. I guess I'm just afraid of trying new things because I am a picky eater, and Mike doesn't like anything that doesn't have meat as the main ingredient.
I have a bunch of chicken cutlets in my freezer so I hopped on Pinterest and got some ideas for what to do with it. I ended up with a Cajun Chicken and Rice dish.
I don't have Cajun spice on hand so I had to mix up my own, it's fairly simple and uses some staple spice cabinet spices.
After combining the spices and chopping up the chicken breast I mixed the two and threw them in a pot to brown.
After the chicken browned I removed it and added some frozen peppers and onions to same pan and sautéed them.
Mean while I was cooking up a box of Zataran's Spanish Rice with added Rotel.
Once the rice was cooked, I added everything together in the same pot.
Added a few handfuls of cheese and mixed everything together.
It was very spicy! But it was good :] Mike and the roommate gobbled it up.
This recipe is extremely flexible!
