3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
3c. chicken broth
1 1/2 c. uncooked brown rice
4 oz smoked turkey sausage, diced
1/2c. thinly sliced celery (optional)
1c. chopped onion
1c. chopped green pepper
2-3 tsp cajun seasoning
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 bay leaf
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
In a large non-stick skillet lightly coated with cooking spray, saute chicken for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the next 10 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-40mins or until rice is just almost done.
Stir in tomatoes; cover and simmer 10mins longer or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
Remove from the heat; let stand 5mins. Discard bay leaf.
*Note: To make homemade cajun seasoning, use 1/2tsp each paprika and garlic powder and a pinch each cayenne pepper, dried thyme and ground cumin.
Recipe is even better if you double or triple the amount of cajun seasoning. A very spicy and delicious meal.
