List of Ingredients

1/4 pound (or more) kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into small pieces
2 cups mild Old El Paso salsa
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant white rice
1 cup hot water
Hot sauce, optional
A handful of shrimp, optional




Recipe

Spray large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add sausage -- she prefers skinless kielbasa -- and chicken. Add shrimp if using. Cook and stir 5 to 8 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside.

Add salsa, rice and water; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until the rice is tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with hot sauce.
