Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 mangoes (diced (optional))
handful cilantro (chopped)
1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
2 1/4 cups chicken broth (I used low sodium)
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning

Steps:

Rub olive oil all over chicken. Season with Cajun seasoning all over.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Once the butter is just melted, stir in the honey.
Add chicken to the pan and brown for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add rice, cajun, seasoning, and broth to the pan and give it a good stir. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low), return chicken to pan (place on top of rice), cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
Fluff rice with a fork and serve chicken and rice with a scoop of mangoes (or alternate option, see notes), fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for squeezing.
