Recipe Tips

To make this dish vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. If you don't have Cajun seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and salt. For a more authentic Cajun flavor, use Andouille sausage instead of chicken broth. Simply brown the sausage in the pan before adding the onion and pepper.
