One-Pot Cajun Honey Butter Chickenand Rice

Heat a large pot over medium heat and melt the butter.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes.

Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper, coating the aromatics evenly.

Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides, cooking for about 5 minutes.

Pour in the honey and chicken broth, then stir in the rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow steam to finish cooking the rice.

Fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top, and serve hot.
