Description

Dirty rice is a classic Cajun dish that gets its name from the fact that the rice is "dirty" from being cooked with chicken liver and spices. This gluten-free version uses chicken and sausage as the meat components and is packed with flavor from the addition of bell peppers, onion, celery, and Cajun spices. It's a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for any weeknight dinner.

Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked rice from a package or leftover rice from a previous meal. This recipe can also be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cut vegetables from the grocery store instead of dicing them yourself. Lastly, feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your liking - if you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount, or increase it for a spicier dish.
