- Step 1: Place a large pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and once hot, add the sliced sausage. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Step 2: Add the sliced chicken thighs and continue to cook, stirring often, for another 4-5 minutes. Then, add the diced onion and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Step 3: Next, add the yellow capsicum, green capsicum, celery, jalapeño, and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and sauté for another 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped thyme, bay leaf, Cajun seasoning, and crushed tomatoes. Stir well.
- Step 4: Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a light simmer, stirring well. Once simmering, sprinkle the rice evenly across the surface of the pan and gently stir to ensure it’s distributed evenly. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
- Step 5: Cook the rice for 20 minutes. Then, lift the lid and add the prawns to the top. Continue cooking on low for another 7 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked.
- Step 6: Check if the rice is fully cooked by testing a grain. Once done, carefully stir the prawns through the rice.
- Step 7: Garnish with the sliced spring onions, serve, and enjoy!
