This tasty, Cajun-style chicken dish is perfect for relaxed, informal eating.

300 g dried rice, long grain
2 teaspoon vegetable oil
450 g chicken breast, uncooked, skinless
3 stick celery, sliced
1 large onion(s), chopped
1 medium red green or yellow pepper(s), deseeded and chopped
2 clove garlic, crushed
10 g Discovery Foods Cajun Seasoning, (2 tsp)
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves, or 1 tsp dried thyme
4 medium tomato(s), chopped
1 pinch salt, and freshly ground black pepper

Cook the rice in plenty of boiling, lightly salted water until tender, about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok and add the chicken. Cook, stirring, for about 6-8 minutes, until browned all over. Add the celery, onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened slightly.

Add the Cajun seasoning, thyme and tomatoes. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 minutes.

Drain the rice thoroughly, then add it to the frying pan or wok, stirring well to mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
