Cajun chicken rainbow rice

CAJUN CHICKEN RAINBOW RICE This savoury rice has a deep, spicy flavour and is brilliant for a busy evening. Not only is it quick to make, it's all done in one pan too, so there is minimal washing up. This dish also works cold, so any leftovers can be used for lunch the following day. I'll also make it if I'm planning a picnic, as it gives me a healthy, filling option that's ready to go and easy to share.
