Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl both for 4 ppl) and broth concentrate to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While broth comes to a boil, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut carrot into 1/4-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onions.
Add rice to the boiling broth. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Transfer to a plate.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut each tender in half, crosswise. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. (NOTE: It's okay if chicken doesn't cook all the way through in this step!)
Reduce heat to medium-low, then add carrots to the pan with chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Add crushed tomatoes and BBQ seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through, 5-7 min. Add peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the green onions and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt, then stir to combine. Divide rice between bowls. Top with chicken, sauce and veggies, then sprinkle remaining green onions over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many found the dish overly tomato-flavored and lacking in Cajun spices; some enjoyed the taste but felt it needed more kick.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, though some noted longer prep time due to trimming chicken tenders.
- Suggestions: Consider using Cajun spices instead of BBQ seasoning for a more authentic flavor; add extra vegetables for more variety.
- Portions: Generous portion size; some found there was too much rice for two people.
- Texture: Some found the carrots undercooked; consider pre-boiling them for 10 minutes before adding to the dish.
