Instructions

Prepare the meats and vegetables. Trim and cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Slice the kielbasa into 1/2 inch thick medallions. Peel and devein shrimp, if needed. Dice the onion, celery, and peppers and mince the garlic.
Combine paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet or dutch oven and add garlic, chicken, Kielbasa, and shrimp. Saute for about 1 minute then add onion, celery and peppers. Saute another minute or two.
Sprinkle with previously combined seasonings. Saute until vegetables become soft and onion becomes translucent.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Let boil for about 1 minute, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender. If the rice seems to be too dry or pasty at the end, add up to 1/2 cup more chicken broth.
Remove bay leaves and serve with Tabasco sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. With the shrimp and chicken in the dish, it's best to eat leftovers within 3-4 days. (ask.usda.gov)
