Easy Jambalaya

This is an off-the-cuff take on a Cajun favorite that I played with yesterday. The family loved the result! I used what I had on-hand, but I put some alternatives in parenthesis.

1 lb. diced boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 lb. shrimp (I used salad shrimp)
1 lb. diced Andouille sausage (smoked sausage would work also)
1 pkg. fresh mushrooms, diced
1 c. diced onion
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper (or to-taste)
1 can Hunts garlic & herb pasta sauce (or 1 large can minced tomatoes)
2 tbsp. Olive oil
4 c. prepared rice (or pasta)

In large pot, saute meats, mushrooms, and spices in olive oil until cooked thoroughly. Add sauce (tomatoes) and reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Serve over rice (noodles).
NOTE: This would also be a great meal to make in a slow cooker.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 8
