Oven Baked Jambalaya - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups uncle ben converted rice
1/2 cup margarine, cut up
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can campbell French onion soup, undiluted
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can campbell beef broth, undiluted
8 ounces canned tomato sauce
1 bunch green onion, and tops chopped
2 bay leaves
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
3 uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts

Preparation

I use 2- 3 Tablespoons of Bayou Blast to spice this up (recipe#31001).
If you don't have any on hand you may use another cajun spice such as Tony Chachere's or use a teaspoon or so of red pepper and black pepper.
Just season according to your family's taste.
Cut chicken and sausage into bite-sized pieces.
Mix together all ingredients in roaster.
Cover.
Bake at 350 degrees in oven for 1 hour& 15 minutes to 1 hour& 30 minutes.
Stir once after 45 minutes.
You must use a converted rice LIKE Uncle Ben's (you can use other brands as long as they are CONVERTED RICE).
Do not substitute or you will get sticky, mushy results.
