  1. Heat 1 tbsp. (15 ml) vegetable oil in a deep non-stick pan on medium high. Sear marinated chicken breasts, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
  2. Add the rest of the vegetable oil to the pan, brown onions, celery, and peppers, then cook for about 4 minutes. Add garlic, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stir in rice, add chicken broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil.
  4. Place chicken breasts on the rice mixture. Cover and lower the heat. Simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
  5. Remove pan from the heat, cut chicken into strips, and serve with the rice. Garnish with parsley and green onion.
