  1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the red bell pepper and chicken breast. Slice the chorizo into thin rounds.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chorizo to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it starts to release its oils.
  4. Stir in the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add the Cajun seasoning and tomato puree to the pan, stirring well to combine.
  6. Add the rice to the pan, stirring to coat it in the seasoning mixture.
  7. Pour in the chicken stock, then season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  8. Cover the pan and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for a few minutes.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
