Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken in an even layer. Season with cajun or all-purpose seasoning and sear until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Transfer the cooked chicken to a dish, and set aside.
To the skillet, add the remaining olive oil along with the sausage, peppers, onions and 1/2 cup of the broth. Stir and scrape up any solid bits from the bottom of the pan. Cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender and sausage has browned.
Pour the remaining broth into the skillet along with both rice packets. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook 5-7 minutes, or until the rice/pasta blend is cooked.
Uncover and fold in the cooked chicken. Allow the mixture to cook 1-2 minutes. Ladle and serve.
