First, wash your rice in cold water. Put the rice in a large pot now. Add the chicken broth and some butter. Bring the liquid to a fast boil. Turn the heat down to very low. Cover the pot with a tight lid. Let it simmer for fifteen minutes. Do not open the lid yet. Turn off the heat and let it sit.

Cut your chicken into small bite-sized cubes. Put the flour into a large bowl. Add the Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Mix the dry ingredients with a small spoon. Toss the chicken pieces into the flour mix. Make sure every piece is fully covered. Shake off any extra flour before cooking.

Heat the vegetable oil in your frying pan. Use medium-high heat for the best results. Place the chicken in the hot oil carefully. Do not crowd the pan too much. Fry the chicken until it is golden brown. It should take about eight minutes. Check that the chicken is cooked through. Place it on a paper towel to drain.

Open your can of black beans and drain. Rinse them with cool water in the sink. Put the beans and corn in a pan. Warm them over low heat for five minutes. You can add a pinch of salt here. This makes the vegetables taste much better. Keep them warm until you are ready.

Grab a clean serving bowl for your meal. Scoop a big portion of rice inside first. Flatten the rice with the back of a spoon. Add a scoop of beans and corn. Place the crispy chicken on top of that. This is the heart of your bowl.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the hot food. The heat will melt the cheese slowly. Add the sliced green onions on top. You can add a splash of hot sauce. Your Bojangles bowl is now ready to eat. Enjoy your homemade Southern meal with friends.
