Ingredients

  • 2 deboned chickens, cut up
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large can of tomato sauce
  • 1 small can Hunts Garlic Tomato Paste
  • 1 green pepper, diced in small bits
  • 3 to 4 cups cooked rice (white or wild rice)
  • 2 lbs of smoked sausage
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Shrimp (optional)
  • 1 lb. Smoked ham (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons of thyme
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Seasoned salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (minimum of 2 teaspoons-that’s what we used)

Preparation

Step 1

Chop smoked sausage into circles or semi circles. Chop smoked ham into cubes. Saute onions in butter for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, thyme and 2 teaspoons of seasoned salt. Cook at medium-high heat for 30 min, stirring frequently. Add green pepper. Cook 5 minutes. Add smoked sausage, ham and shrimp. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. In a large pot add this tomato mixture and rice. Make sure you add the rice one heaping spoon at a time or you may add too much. Add water and stir the mixture constantly for 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, add cayenne pepper for a little kick in flavor. Serve hot and enjoy.
