1
Add the wild and basmati rice and chicken broth into a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked and has absorbed the broth.
CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
3
While the rice is cooking, heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces into the skillet, toss them with the Cajun seasoning, and stir-fry until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Stir in the soy sauce, toss the chicken to coat evenly, then remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
6
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the chopped red and orange bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5-10 minutes.
7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add the diced tomatoes, and let it simmer until most of the tomato juice has evaporated.
8
Remove skillet from heat. Combine the chicken and vegetable mixture with the cooked rice, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
