Simple Chicken And Sausage Paella - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb hot Italian sausage, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup long-grain rice
14 ounces canned tomatoes, chopped (homemade is better)
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (we love spicy foods)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, remove all visible fat and cut into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper
1 green onion, chopped diagonally

Preparation

Using a 12 cup microwaveable dish, combine chopped sausages, onions, green pepper and garlic. Microwave uncovered at a High setting for approximately 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Stir halfway.
Add long-grain rice, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Stir and cover. Microwave at a High setting for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until boiling. Stir and cover. Microwave at a Medium setting for another 5 minutes.
Add chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and cover. Microwave at a Medium setting for approximately 7 to 9 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Let stand covered for another 5 minutes.
Serve with chopped green onions.
