    1 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.

    2 Spray pan with a little more oil and return to medium heat. Gently fry onion and capsicum for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add tomatoes, rice and Cajun seasoning. Cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the tomato is soft and the rice is heated through.

    3 Add cooked chicken and rocket to the pan. Stir for 2 minutes, or until chicken is heated through and rocket is just wilted. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to serve.
