1.
In a large non-stick skillet heat oil and butter until melted, saute chicken for 2 minutes or until chicken is half cooked.
2.
Add celery, onion, bell peppers, stir and saute 1 minute. Add cajun seasoning and garlic. Continue to saute until fragrant.
3.
Stir in rice and saute 1 minute, then add chicken broth, sausage and bay leaves.
4.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes or until heated through.
5.
Stir in tomatoes; cover and simmer 10 minutes longer or until liquid has thickened and rice is tender. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
Cook's Tip:
1.
You can substitute the chicken with fresh shrimp, just add the shrimp with the tomatoes in step 5. You can use both chicken and shrimp you like.
2.
You can easily use a long grain white rice in place of the brown. Adjust cooking time accordingly since brown rice takes longer to cook.
3.
Any good quality smoked sausage like kielbasa or smoked turkey will work in place of Andoullee. Andoullee is a spicy sausage with unique seasonings that is smoked and comes in mild to hot varieties.

    I like the turkey sausage instead of regular sausage. I'm always looking for ways to eat healthier but still enjoy the food. :)

      Thanks! I also like using turkey sausage. You can substitute shrimp for the chicken or sausage. Have fun mixing it up a bit with these three items.

        Yes it is and serving some fresh fruit along with it really helps cut some of the spiciness.
