1. Marinate the chicken with Cajun seasoning, lemon juice and oil. Cover and keep it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over high heat.
3. Fry the chicken pieces in small batches. I have fried the chicken pieces in two batches. Do not overcrowd the pan.
4. Cook the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes or until char marks appear. Remove and set it aside on a plate.
5. Same way, cook the second batch of chicken. Remove it to a plate.

10. Stir and combine the rice with the veggies and cajun seasoning.
11. Add 3 cups of water and gently stir. Be careful, the quantity of water may differ with different variety of rice. So add it accordingly.
12. Taste the water and adjust seasoning as per taste.
13. Cook on high until the water comes to a boil.
