Easy and versatile! I used 1/2 lb. smoked sausage and 1/2 lb. chicken tenderloins. I sauteed both with some cajun seasoning before adding to the rice mixture. It came out perfectly and the rice was all so separate! Great recipe - Thanks!

    This is a really good recipe, and I like that I could use all different kinds of meat with it. I had some left over spicy and mild Viennia beef sausages that I needed to cook up,so I tried them with this repipe and it turned out great! My family really liked it!!
