Recipe View 10 mins Simmer to Perfection (5 minutes, then 5 more): Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the cover, stir gently, and continue to simmer until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender. This should take approximately 5 minutes more.

For a deeper, richer flavor, consider using Andouille sausage. If you want to make it vegetarian, substitute the sausage and chicken with plant-based alternatives, such as vegan sausage and jackfruit.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your spice preference. Start with 1.5 teaspoons and add more to taste.
Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, stirred in at the end, add a vibrant touch.
