Cook's Notes
Nutrient analysis based on chicken. Sausage not included in analysis.
For a complete protein, you can serve this dish with traditional red beans (see additional recipe).
Depending on the meats you use, you may want to add them at the end of the cooking so they don't become mushy. Afer serving my shellfish-adverse son, I toss in a few frozen shrimp from the freezer for myself. Yum!
