  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
