Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion
1 medium bell pepper, red
1 medium bell pepper, green
1 medium bell pepper, orange
2 cloves garlic
1/2 pound chicken breast
8 ounce turkey sausage
3 cup chicken broth, low-sodium
2 cup crushed tomatoes, canned
1 1/2 cup brown rice, raw
1/2 tbsp Cajun spice
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 ounce shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven or sturdy pot. Chop onions and peppers into bit size pieces. Mince or crush garlic.
Saute veggies and garlic until they soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Cut chicken and sausage into bite size pieces.
Add the chicken and the sausage and continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink on the outside.
To the pot add the rest of the ingredients, except the shrimp. Stir to combine.
Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
{If you use brown rice vs. white rice, this will take longer to cook for the rice to soften. Plan on an extra 20-25 minutes and you may need to add more liquid}
Once the rice is soft, taste and add more seasonings to taste.
Add shrimp and continue to simmer until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Serve warm and enjoy!
