Broth

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute (or until fragrant).

Chicken

  2. Add the chicken and cook until it is browned on all sides (doesn't need to be cooked through yet).
  3. Add the onions and red and green peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Make a well in the center and add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute on each side.
  5. Add the garlic and tomatoes, cooking for another minute.
  6. Pour the broth over the top and gently stir all ingredients together.
  7. Continue to cook until the vegetables are heated through (about three minutes).

Assembly

  2. Spoon the Jamabalya Mixture over the noodles.
  3. Top with parsley.
