We use Mild Italian Sausage if we are serving it to our daughters. For an adult meal, you may wish to use Hot Italian, or Smoked Kielbasa.

To make this meal healthier, use brown rice and reduce the sodium level by omitting the teaspoon of added salt and use No Sodium Chicken Broth. Only YOU will know the difference!

Ingredients:

Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut into 1 1/2" chunks - 3/4 lb.

Italian Sausage, cut into 1/4" slices - 3/4 lb.
Onions, diced – ½ cup
Green Peppers, diced – ½ cup

Rice – 3 cups
Turmeric - 1 Tbsp

Directions:

Mix Turmeric with White or Brown Rice. Follow instructions on package to cook rice.

1. In large/huge sauce pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil or butter. Cook Chicken pieces until brown on all sides and cooked half way through - about 20 minutes. Remove chicken from pan.

2. To the same pan, add Onions, Green Peppers, Celery, and Garlic cooking slowly until onions are tender.

3. Add sausages and cook for 10 minutes.
