Start by washing and cutting your chicken and sausage into bite-sized pieces. Gather all your ingredients as having everything ready will streamline the cooking process.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and let them brown for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.

Add your sliced sausage to the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sausage is heated through.

Stir in rice and Cajun seasoning, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Pour in chicken broth or water, bringing the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed.

Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice if desired, and serve warm.
