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.

- 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)
