Recipe Tips

If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rice instead of uncooked rice. Just add it to the skillet after the meat and vegetables have been cooked and stir to combine. If you want to add a little extra flavor to the dish, try using a Cajun seasoning blend instead of the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
