    List of Ingredients




    Low-Fat Creole Chicken and Rice


    1 c white rice
    1 link sweet turkey sausage (2 oz)
    1 red bell pepper, diced
    1 green bell pepper, diced
    2 ribs celery, chopped
    4 scallions, sliced (plus additional for garnish)
    1/2 t paprika
    1/2 t thyme
    1 pkg roasted chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces (10 oz)
    1/2 c nonfat lower-sodium chicken broth

    Recipe




    Cook the rice according to package instructions.

    Squeeze the sausage out of its casing into a deep skillet.

    Brown over medium high, stirring constantly to break up lumps.

    Add the peppers, celery, scallions, paprika and thyme to the pan and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

    Add the chicken and broth and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken is warmed through and the sausage thoroughly cooked.

    You also can add diced tomatoes and a pinch of cayenne.

    Stir in the rice, cover the pan and cook another 2 minutes, or until the liquid is completely absorbed.

    Makes 4 servings.
