Lightened Up Jambalaya



2 tsp olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped (about 1 cup)  
1 medium green pepper(s), chopped (about 1 cup)  
8 oz Chicken, breast, raw, without skin & bone, cut into bite-size pieces
29 oz canned stewed tomatoes, undrained
12 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined*
1 tsp italian seasoning, dried 
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
4 cup(s) cooked brown rice

*I am so not a shrimp girl, so I substitute either more chicken or turkey sausage.

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper; cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in chicken; cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients, except rice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in rice; continue cooking until liquid is almost absorbed and rice is thoroughly heated, about 2 minutes. Yields about 2 cups per serving.


Tips from WW: This recipe also tastes great if you use lean pork tenderloin strips instead of chicken. And go ahead and toss some red beans into the cooked rice.
