Jambalaya!

I've been looking through all my dad's cooking magazines, trying to find something that maybe I would be able to pull off. After consulting with my master chef of a father we came up with this!

Jambalaya, duh!
Yield: 8 Servings

1 lb smoked kielbasa, or smoked Polish sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can, 28 oz, diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups uncooked rice
2 cups water
1/2 lb fresh or frozen uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1. In a dutch oven, saute sausage for 1 minute. Add chicken; saute 2 minutes longer. Add the celery, onion, green pepper and garlic; saute for 2 minutes or until vegetable are crisp-tender. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes of until chicken juices run clear. Stir to fluff the rice. Let stand for 5 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid before serving.

We'll see how it goes! :D
