Bayou Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya

While shopping for rice - I spotted this recipe on the back of a Success Rice box. I usually choose brown rice - this recipe/a free product coupon/and the fact that there was no Success brown rice on the shelf - were enough for me to make the purchase.

This was also my first time trying turkey smoked sausage - I couldn't tell the difference.





Ingredients:

1 bag Success White Rice
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 small onion chopped
1 green bell pepper diced
1 stalk celery chopped
1 package 6 oz grilled chicken breast strips, cubed
1/2 smoked turkey sausage sliced
1 can 8 oz tomato sauce
1 can 14 1/2 oz diced tomatoes
1 tbsp. Creole Seasoning
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce





Saute onion, bell pepper and celery for about 5 minutes.

Stir in smoked sausage and chicken - cook for another 3 minutes.

(I used uncooked chicken breast strips so I cooked mine until cooked through.)

Stir in Creole seasoning,
Worcestershire sauce,
diced tomatoes
and
tomato sauce


Be Prepared Here: Throw on an apron and wield your glass lid shield - those tomatoes mean business! They are out to get on your counter-top, clothes and floor if you let them!

Everything from the can that wouldn't open and then went flying all over my face and glasses - to the sauce that just jumped right out of the pan and onto my floor - it was enough to having me running for an apron.

VERY CAREFULLY - I used tongs - pour rice out of boil in bags and into skillet.

This recipe was supposed to feed 4 - and since I have 6 in my family - I through in an extra bag of rice, stalk of celery and another 1/2 of smoked sausage.

This was a pretty spicy dish - Glad that I resisted the temptation to add more creole seasoning since I was adding more rice and sausage.

Over all I give this dish 4 spoons - it was yummy and useful!
It was pretty awesome that while the rice was boiling away - I was able to get everything ready in the skillet - when I was done - so was the rice!
