    List of Ingredients




    1 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp white pepper
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 tsp paprika
    1/8 tsp garlic powder
    1/8 tsp onion powder
    3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 3/4 pound)
    1/2 pound medium to large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    1 box (12 ounces) spinach and plain fettuccine blend
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1/2 pound smoked kielbasa, cut into small chunks
    1 medium tomato, chopped
    1 small bell pepper, sliced
    1 small white onion, sliced in small pieces
    1-1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
    2 Tbsp white wine

    Recipe



    Make a Cajun seasoning blend by combining the salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl.

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. Use about one-third seasoning blend to coat the chicken pieces. In another bowl, sprinkle another one-third of the spice blend over the shrimp. Start the pasta cooking according to package directions.

    While the fettuccine cooks, heat 1 Tbsp of the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, saute the chicken in the pan for about 2 minutes or until chicken starts to turn brown. Add the shrimp to the pan with the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the chicken and shrimp have been seared, pour the contents of the pan onto a plate or into a bowl (separate the chicken and shrimp as they will be added back to the pan at different stages).

    Put the pan back over the high heat and add the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil to the pan. Add the kielbasa, tomato, pepper, and onion. Sprinkle on the remaining spice blend and saute for about 5 minutes or until veggies begin to soften and turn dark brown.

    Add the chicken back to the skillet and pour 3/4 cup of the chicken broth in the pan. Cook over high heat until the broth has been reduced to just about nothing. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of broth and shrimp to the pan, stirring constantly and scraping the blackened bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the broth a bit more, then turn the heat down to low. Stir the wine into the pan and simmer over low heat for 2 more minutes.

    Drain fettuccine and spoon onto plates. Top with Jambalaya.

    Yield: 8 servings
