Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and cut the chicken and sausage into pieces as needed.

Cook Protein: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and sausage, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Add Rice: Stir in the rice, allowing it to toast slightly for about 1-2 minutes, incorporating it with the vegetables.

Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and sausage to the pan. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine.

Cook: Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid. If using peas, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional Cajun seasoning if desired.

Serve: Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
