Answers: I would do a Jambalaya, and if you wish just use chicken for all the meat, instead of adding the shrimp and sausage. You can also add more or less spice, depending on how hot you want it.
INGREDIENTS
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 pound fully cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, with juices
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/2 cup cubed cooked chicken breast meat
1/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
DIRECTIONS
In a skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until crisp-tender. Add the sausage, broth, tomatoes, green pepper, bay leaf, thyme and cayenne. Bring to a boil; add rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add chicken and shrimp; cook 5-10 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink and rice is tender. Discard bay leaf before serving Simmer the chicken in some broth with some crushed red pepper, then shred it. Add the rice & beans, and some shredded sharp cheddar or cojack cheese. Put a spoonful on a tortilla & roll up, place in baking dish, and pour enchilada sause mixed with hot sauce over top. Sprinkle with more cheese and bake for 30 minutes at 400. Fry up some diced chicken in the fry pan with some peppers and onions. Add the beans and cooked rice, and fry until the rice is a little crispy (low to medium heat). Stir in your favorite salsa, and add a little salt and pepper if desired. Serve on top of some lettuce, and top with cheese, if you like.
