good grade olive oil





Coat the bottom of a large fry pan or saute pan with olive oil. Over med high heat, saute garlic and onion in the oil until tender but not browned.





Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5'; chunks. Remove the sausage from its casings and crumble into small pieces. Add the chicken and sausage to the garlic and onion mixture; salt and pepper to taste. Saute the mixture, stirring frequently.





When the meats are almost cooked through, add the chopped pepper and continue to saute until done.





Add the rice and any packaged seasonings to the mixture and stir. Add water (according to package directions) and hot sauce to taste and stir.

Chorizo can be substituted for the Italian sausage.





Frozen peas may be used instead of the pepper. If so, add them when the rice and water is added to the pan.What are good dinner recipes?
