Notes

  • If you decide to use frozen broccoli instead, make sure it's completely thawed before adding it to the pot.
  • Don't have rice? You can serve the chicken and broccoli over mashed potatoes or cooked pasta instead.
  • Not a fan of Cajun seasoning? You can use Montreal style steak or chicken seasoning, or even Old Bay in its place.
  • You can use chicken thighs in place of breasts, just be sure to remove the bones when shredding the meat.
