Protean option. Choose one of the following
A - 3 andouille Sausage
B - 1 chicken breast, 1 link hot Italian sausage, 1/2lb breakfast sausage
C - 2 link hot Italian sausage. 4 oz shrimp
Paul's favorite is shrimp and hot sausage

1 medium yellow onion sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper diced (substitute green chile for some of the pepper)
3 cloves garlic minced
1/3 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup long grain white rice
1 14 oz can of low sodium diced tomatoes (Mexican or Italian is OK)
1 bay leaf
(optional: add one can of high quality whole kernel corn.)

Directions:
Cook meat in a saucepan with olive oil until brown. Move to a paper towel on a plate.

Caramelize the onions. Add celery half way through. Add bell pepper near the end.

Add chicken broth, rice, tomatoes and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook until the rice is done. About 15 minutes.

Add the meat. Remove the bay leaf.

Serve with corn bread.
