    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 3 celery stalks, finely chopped
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
    • 1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
    • 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
    • 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes with juice
    • 1 cup long-grain rice

      Oh-me-oh-my! It was delicious! Even better: my kids loved it, too. I didn't have the Old Bay seasoning, so I added a little paprika and thyme, plus cayenne pepper for some kick. I'm always looking for new recipes to make dinner more exciting, and this recipe hit the spot. Definitely making this again!

      This was very good and easy to make. It all came together pretty fast. The only thing I might change would be to add a little more rice next time.
