Hey there, friends! Happy Thursday… the ugly red-headed stepchild to Friday’s golden haired golden boy.

Did you like that?! I wish I could take credit, but I totally stole it from someone on Face Book. 😇  Just when I thought the book of face was good for nothing I go and find a little jewel of TRUTH. Needless to say, FB and I are back to being besties.

Any-who, now that we got THAT out of the way, there is something I just MUST say.

Warning, I’m going to complain.

You ready?

Feel free to put your hand in the air, and wave around like you just don’t care, in preparation to slap me silly. I can take it. I have thick skin.

OR, you can scroll down, skip this section all together and murmur some choice words at me.

Whatever floats your boat.

Complaint will commence in 3. 2. 1…

I HAAAAAATE these photos. I like more organized, purposeful POPS of colors versus a jumbled, chaotic hot mess of radiant color. It’s probably the OCD in me.

So if you could just bear with me and ACT like these photos are pretty I would be much obliged.

Deal? I’m going to pretend like you said, ‘ABSOLUTELY’!

You guys really are the best. 😉

Oh! OHHH!! Speaking of pictures, if you follow this here little blog, you know my computer kicked the bucket exactly one week ago.

Since I’m sure you are just DYING to know how the situation panned out, I’ll give you a little update.

Boy was able to save most of the raw photos off my old computer, but all my edited and personal photos are gone with the wind. Along with anything business-y I had on Photo Shop, like my press kit, an eBook I was working on, and logo design.

Basically I lost A TON of work. However, I’m a glass half full kind of chick, so I’m just celebrating the fact ALL was not lost. Yay?

Then again, I would gladly trade THESE photos for some of the important stuff that got erased. But, I know life doesn’t work like that.

You win some, you lose some. Amirite?

A bunch of you asked if I back up to an external hard drive and OF COURSE I did. Well, I THOUGHT I did. You see, the photos were set to back up to the EHD, but instead they somehow got switched to exporting to the INTERNAL hard drive without me noticing. YIKES, right?

Let my predicament serve as a cautionary tale and MAKE SURE you are ACTUALLY backing up to an EHD. Don’t take your computers word for it. The google machine tells LIES! 😉

Anyways, I’ll quit reading your eye balls off and get back on track to today’s dish.

I know you have things to do and weekends to plan. And I’m totally on board with that. High five.

Skillet Cajun Chicken with Red Beans and Rice

AKA an easy, breezy one skillet WONDER of Cajun-y chicken, rice and beans DELICIOUSNESS.

This skillet meal will make you feel like your vacationing RIGHT by the Bayou… alligator airboat ride not included.

Here’s what’s going on in this skillet:

Juicy, tender, crispy skinned chicken thighs snuggled up in some slightly spicy, smoky, fluffy, perfectly cooked rice loaded with a blend of Cajun seasonings and studded with plump red beans, fire roasted tomatoes and sweet red bell peppers.

Creole flavor town USA, people.

Grab a hurricane, make this dish and get ‘er done.45 degree, up-close shot of a Cajun Chicken thigh nestled in Red Beans & Rice in a large cast iron skillet.

Is Cajun chicken spicy?

In my opinion, Cajun chicken is mildly spicy.

The primary heat source for cajun spiced chicken comes from the cayenne pepper. However, there is less cayenne in Cajun seasoning compared to the other spice ingredients, so cajun seasoning is normally quite mellow.

Nonetheless, this easy cajun chicken can be made more or less spicy by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper in the cajun seasoning blend.

What is cajun spice made of?

Cajun seasoning is a blend of salt with a variety of spices, most commonly including cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic.

The homemade cajun seasoning recipe below is made up of salt, cayenne, paprika and garlic as well as onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano and fresh ground black pepper.

How to Make Cajun Chicken:

First you will start by seasoning the chicken GENEROUSLY on ALL sides with some Cajun spice mix.

Because FLAVOR.

Then you heat a splash of oil in a skillet, add the chicken and cook until golden brown and delicious on both sides. Transfer the chicken to the plate and set aside.

Add the onion and bell pepper to the (same) skillet and season them liberally with salt and pepper.

Because MORE FLAVOR.

Cook them until they are softened and lovely. Pour in the stock, sprinkle in some more Cajun seasoning, and dump in the beans and tomatoes.

Give everything a nice stir to combine and then add the chicken back to the skillet, nestling it in the rice. Cover the skillet with a lid and pop it into an oven preheated to 350 degrees F.

Go pour yourself a cocktail and come back 25 minutes later. Remove the lid and continue to bake for roughly 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is cooked though.

Remove the skillet from the oven, garnish everything with some fresh parsley and thinly sliced jalapenos.

Grab the largest fork humanly possible and dive right in.

What goes with cajun chicken?

Red beans and rice as well as roasted red bell peppers are absolutely delicious with cajun chicken! Since this is a skillet dish, the chicken as well as the red beans, rice, fire roasted tomatoes and diced bell pepper are all cooked together resulting in a fuss-free, complete meal!

If you are serving people with a larger appetite, roasted potatoes, collard greens or green beans also make delicious vegetable options!

Or, if you are looking for an appetizer to serve with this easy cajun chicken, hush puppies would pair fabulously!

Notes, tips & Tricks for Skillet Cajun Chicken with Red Beans & Rice recipe:

  1. The cajun chicken recipe below calls for bone-in chicken thighs. You can either use skinless or skin-on. I recommend using skin-on (what I used), because the crispy skin is downright delicious.
  2. You can purchase Cajun spice mix at the store, or you can make your own. I highly suggest you make your own. You probably already have all the seasonings in your pantry, and making your own is much cheaper than buying a prepared one. I included the recipe to DIY in the notes section of the recipe below.
  3. You can use any kind of skillet you would like for this recipe, but make sure it is straight sided, has a tight fitting lid, and it is oven safe. I used a 12’’ cast iron skillet.

Transport your taste buds to the Big Easy and make this Skillet Cajun Chicken with Red Beans and Rice. Your mouth will high five you, I swear.

Until next week friends, cheers – to ragin’ Cajun chicken.

XOXO

    What a beauty, you’re too hard on yourself. I would be bummed, but I like your attitude about the drive and work loss. I have been there and it’s a shame, but we pick ourselves right back up and get busy, right?
    We have such similar tastes in food and I’m sure that’s why I continue to come back here and get inspired. LOVE this one. Everything is fantastic and I also saw that pomegranate one, awesome!

They are so good they distract me from even reading all the ingredients – simply droolicious!
    So sorry to hear you lost all that work! Ugh! But, on a lighter note – I cannot wait to see that ebook! Happy Friday to ya – love that Thursday/Friday quote – my daughter always tells me whatever makes it onto FB was first on Twitter – but don’t think I’ve heard this one before!

    Hey pretty girl, sorry to hear of the lost photos. Super big bummer. I back up to an external drive and I have Dropbox – but that’s just for unedited photos. Anyhow, glad some were saved – and as a glass half full chick also – this dinner looks absolutely delicious!!! I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt my kids will love this. They like the spice, especially Hudson, surprisingly. Thanks for another winner dinner recipe and I hope you and Boy have a fabulous weekend. We’re having an open house for our house sale this weekend and it’s so pretty out and even warmish, in the low 50’s — but all my ‘open house’ signs stuck in snowbanks around town are destined to fall over by Saturday a.m. Wish me luck!!! Have a super weekend my friend! XOXO

    I understand that as bloggers we’re all very critical of our photos…I pick mine apart until there’s nothing left, and sometimes I don’t even want to post something because I think the photos are subpar. Posting subpar photos is like having a bad hair day. BUT these photos are no where near subpar and don’t look like a glob of color! This dish is colorful and looks downright amazing, Cheyanne! You can tell there’s so much flavor in this dish and I want it for dinner!

    Your photos are gorgeous, Cheyanne! And I’m not just saying that! Some dishes can be so hard to photograph and edit, especially when the light stinks. I’ve learned to just deal with the horrible ones and move on. And isn’t it funny that sometimes, the photos that you like the LEAST, end up being some of your most popular recipes? At least that happens to me sometimes, and that always amazes me! And yay for being able to save some of your pictures! Now onto this chicken…give me ALL of it! I’m loving the cajun flavor here, something I don’t cook with often enough. This dish is just calling my name, looks so hearty and filling. Pinned, of course! Happy almost weekend, friend!

    I’m so happy to hear all your photos weren’t lost but I know how many, many hours of your time were – and I’m sorry some of that massive work is gone. And double ugh since you did have a back-up in place and it still didn’t work. Sigh… but honestly girl, these pictures are fabulous! I started drooling with the first one and then the close-ups of that juicy spiced chicken just have my eyes going all googly! Not to mention, this is ALL kinds of a perfect for meal for me! Hubs went to school in New Orleans so we love the Cajun flavors in our house and as you know, I love anything that’s easy and delicious! Total win here! Pinned (cause I want that pretty picture on my board!) and excited to try it! XO

    Ohhh Cheyanne… I’m currently plugging in my external hard drive – losing all your work is TERRIBLE!! I try to remember to back my files up regularly, but I still don’t do it as often as I’d like. I’m so sad for you, but in awe that you’re still thinking ‘glass half full!’ I totally would have been super sad and mad and frustrated… Ugggh.

    Anyway, next point: I love these photos! 😉 No, I’m actually serious. Most of the photos on my site WISH they looked anything like this, so I definitely think you’re being too tough on yourself! Looks delicious, and any one pan meal is MY kinda meal.

    Hope you have a great weekend girlie!

    Crispy skin chicken, black beans, red peppers – your Skillet Cajun Chicken with Red Beans & Rice sounds delicious and I know my boys (and I) would love it! So sorry to hear about all the important data that you have lost. It is always such a worry and backups don’t always work out – I have an automatic backup system too but it does not always do what it is supposed to so I try to backup manually every now and then. Love how positive you are about everything and your glass half full attitude. Have a wonderful weekend!
