Sausage And Chicken Jambalaya Stirfry - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup uncooked rice (I used long-grain white)
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1/4 lb chicken tenders, cubed
    1/2 lb smoked Polish sausage, sliced (I used chorizo)
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 green bell pepper
    1 red bell pepper (my own addition -- )
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
Preparation
    Cook rice according to package directions.
    Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
    Stirfry chicken 2 minutes, add sausage; stirfry chicken and sausage until brown. Remove from pan to separate bowl.
    Add onion and bell peppers to skillet, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add garlic, cook and stir, uncovered, 1 minute.
    Add tomatoes, sausage, chicken, broth, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper and red pepper, to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, or until most liquid has been absorbed.
    Stir in rice and heat through.
    NOTE : as stated in the intro, I made this more like a risotto, cooking the rice in the pan with the vegetables, and using more liquid. Probably took a bit longer, but turned out well :).
