Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, then remove from pot and set aside.
Add the diced onions, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the rice to the pot, stirring until it is coated with the oil and vegetables.
Pour in chicken broth, then add in Cajun seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.
