Chicken Sausage and Pepper Rice
I don't normally do blog posts about dinners. For some reason I have a hard time taking pictures of cooked food. It's so much easier taking pictures of baked goods as opposed to trying to make a dinner dish look fresh and appealing and still keep it hot so you can eat it. I made the effort for this recipe because it was outstanding. To Read More, Click On The recipe Title.
This is a one dish meal that's easy to prepare and is done in 25 minutes. You could chop the vegetables ahead of time and refrigerate them until you're ready to start the dish. The recipe called for frozen chicken tenders, I used a boneless chicken breast and cut it into strips myself. I didn't have any red peppers so I just used all green peppers. All the ingredients in this recipe come together beautifully to make a spicy delicious dinner. I don't like hot sauce so I served it on the side for Paul. My husband had two helpings of this, it was delicious!

Do you cook the chicken before adding it in?
Anonymous, YES you cook the chicken before adding. I'm so sorry I didn't make that clearer, thank you for pointing it out to me! I hope you make this, it's one of my favorites!
This looks like a very adaptable recipe. This is my first time on your blog and Bunny you're really gonna get me in trouble! I have a really bad sweet tooth and there's plenty of desserts.
