Chicken - Sausage 1 Pot Meal

After a break in cooking (cheating by eating frozen prepared tamales) it was back to the stove. I had sitting on the counter zucchinis and tomatoes. In the freezer I found a nice big Frankfurt left from some I got from the farmer’s market. I was going to modify something that our Belgium girl made but then decided to actually make something between jambalaya and a recipe from my grandmother “Calabasa”.

Since my oldest granddaughter was here I had to modify what I would have liked to do, but it is more important for kids to eat good food then to try and make a point. Especially when she has an eating disorder that is not being dealt with.

Chicken and Sausage 1 pot meal

This fed 4 people:

4  Chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces

1  Frankfurter cut into bite size pieces

2  Zucchini cut into bite size pieces

2 cloves of garlic chopped into small pieces

3 or 4 tomatoes, diced

1 C. rice, I use brown rice as it is more nutritious

Put the tomatoes into a 2 C measuring cut and smash down with a spoon then add water to the amount required in the rice instructions. Add the tomato/water to a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil then add rice. Cut the chicken breasts, zucchini and frankfurter into pieces. Add these things to your rice but make sure that the rice grains are still in the moisture.

If the rice used is brown then everything should be done cooking in about 40min.

Our picky granddaughter had 3 servings of this!
