Boil a large pan of water, add the rice & simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Pour into a sieve & leave to drain.
Whilst the rice is cooking, heat a cast iron griddle pan on a high heat & brush on a little oil.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning & pour half the oil on the chicken breasts & rub it in using your hands.
Flatten the chicken breasts slightly with your hands & place on the hot griddle. Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is charred & no longer pink in the middle.
Place on a chopping board to rest whilst you cook the vegetables.
Brush the rest of the oil on the griddle & place the peppers & onion on in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning a couple of times, until lightly charred.
By now the rice should be cooked & drained.
Fluff it up with a fork & stir through the coriander & lime zest.
Divide the rice between two bowls. Cut the chicken breasts into slices & place on top of the rice. Add the char-grilled peppers and onion & top w/ the chopped avocado.
