Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large stockpot or large, deep-walled skillet.
- Add chicken and cook until white (it doesn't need to be cooked through).
- Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT shrimp and cilantro.
- Bring to a boil, stirring often. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer* for about 20-25 minutes or until noodles become soft, stirring often. Add more chicken broth if necessary.
- *If adding shrimp, add it at about 10 minutes into the simmering process. The shrimp will need to simmer for 15 minutes to be fully cooked.
- Garnish with cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Tips for adding shrimp:
- If you want to add shrimp to the dish, don't add it at the very beginning (they will get overcooked).
- Throw the shrimp in about 10-15 minutes into the simmering process. They will get nice and pink by the time you are ready to serve.
- Also, if you would like to give the smoked sausage a little boost of flavor, sauté it in a little butter before adding all the other ingredients.
- If you are in a hurry (like I usually am) you can just throw it in with all the other ingredients. Either way it will taste authentic and amazing!
