Have a Rice Day!


Quit rubbing your eyes and pinching yourselves, people -- YES, we've made a calorie-friendly jambalaya! If it's spicy, sausage-packed comfort food you crave, you'll wanna save this recipe... Ingredients:
6 oz. (about 2 links) fully cooked chicken sausage, sliced into coins
One 14.5-oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (not drained)
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp. hot sauce, or more to taste
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
6 oz. raw shrimp, tails removed, deveined, chopped
Optional: salt and black pepper
Directions:
Add all ingredients except shrimp to a large pot on the stove. Mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer until veggies are tender and rice is fluffy, about 35 minutes. Add shrimp and re-cover. Continue to cook until shrimp are tender and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
If you like, season to taste with salt, black pepper, and additional hot sauce. Serve and enjoy!!!
