  1. Cut the chicken into 2 cm (3/4 in) cubes. Sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning and the sage or marjoram, making sure that the chicken is coated all over. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large wide flameproof casserole or pan over a moderately high heat, add the chicken and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cubes are browned on all sides. Remove from the pan with a draining spoon.

  2. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan together with the onion, green pepper and celery, and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic and rice, and stir and fry for another minute.

  3. Pour in the stock and stir well. Return the chicken to the pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the ham, sausage and canned tomatoes with their juice. Cook, covered, for a further 5–10 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.

  4. Season to taste with Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Serve hot, sprinkled with the chopped spring onions and parsley.
