Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 ounces (85g) andouille sausage (finely chopped)
  • 12 ounces (340g) skinless (boneless chicken breasts,cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 2 10-oz (283g) cans unsalted diced tomatoes and green chiles
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) salt-free Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion mixture (if used) and sausage; cook for 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add chicken; cook for 4 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  2. Strain the diced tomatoes and green chiles in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup (59ml) of the liquid. Add the strained tomato mixture, 1/4 cup (59ml) reserved tomato liquid, Cajun seasoning, salt, and precooked brown rice to the pan, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
