Step 1
Prepare the rice according to the package directions. While the rice is cooking, season the chicken with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, stirring often. Add the sausage and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and sausage from the skillet.
Step 2
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning and cook for 6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 3
Return the chicken and sausage to the skillet. Stir in the sauce and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is done. Serve the chicken mixture over the rice. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.
