BAYOU CHICKEN & SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA

Bayou Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya image

I wanted to make a Jambalaya but all I had was the 10 minute Boil-in-Bag Success Rice and I was worried about it getting mushy. Low and behold, I found a recipe on their website. Here it is! (This is the healthy version. I used 2 medium chicken breasts in place of the cubed chicken strips, kielbasa instead of smoked turkey sausage, brown rice instead of white rice and we used regular salted tomato products and Creole seasoning and it turned out fine)
