Ingredients
  

  • 13 oz pack of smoked turkey sausage (Eckrich) cooked and sliced
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs cooked and diced
  • 1/2 pound large raw shelled deveined shrimp thawed
  • 1 purple onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 6 cloves minced garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 c white wine
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp

    pepper


  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 8 oz bags of banza rice prepared and rinsed
  • 12 oz frozen peas thawed

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Banza rice per package instructions and set aside.
  • If you are using regular rice instead of Banza I recommend using Basmati rice. Cook 2 c rice in 4 cups of chicken stock and add ½ tsp saffron to the stock if you have it. It’s an expensive spice, but it gives the rice the yellow color and flavors it.
  • In a pot over medium heat preheat olive oil and sauté onion and red bell pepper for 20 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic, cook 2 minutes more.
  • Deglaze with white wine.
  • Add the raw shrimp along with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook until the shrimp turn pink.
  • Add the sliced smoked sausage and diced chicken thighs. Mix.
  • Add cooked rice to the pot. Mix
  • Add thawed peas to the pot. Mix and serve.
