Sausage and Chicken Jambalaya Stirfry image

From ' No Time To Cook : One-Dish Meals ", a quick and easy supper dish using pantry ingredients. I chose not to cook the rice separately, but with the other ingrdients, more like a risotto. If you do this, you will need more liquid, I did use a lot more than 1/2 a cup of broth, probably more like 1 and a 1/2, plus the liquid from the canned tomatoes. I also added about 1 tblsp tomato paste that I had in the fridge, plus a dash of brown sugar. And, no salt, more pepper! All according to personal taste! I also added Tabasco to mine, although not my husbands, I prefer more heat. Posting recipe as originally published, but feel free to play :)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup uncooked rice (I used long-grain white)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 lb chicken tenders, cubed
1/2 lb smoked Polish sausage, sliced (I used chorizo)
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper (my own addition -- )
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Steps:

  • Cook rice according to package directions.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Stirfry chicken 2 minutes, add sausage; stirfry chicken and sausage until brown. Remove from pan to separate bowl.
  • Add onion and bell peppers to skillet, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add garlic, cook and stir, uncovered, 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes, sausage, chicken, broth, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper and red pepper, to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, or until most liquid has been absorbed.
  • Stir in rice and heat through.
  • NOTE : as stated in the intro, I made this more like a risotto, cooking the rice in the pan with the vegetables, and using more liquid. Probably took a bit longer, but turned out well :).
