Directions
Heat olive oil in a skillet, medium to med-high heat. Slice chicken sausages and saute in olive oil with onion, celery, and bell pepper. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne while cooking.

When onions are translucent, add chicken breast meat, shrimp, tomatoes, corn, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to thicken (10-15 minutes). Stir in cooked brown rice and simmer another 5 minutes to let rice absorb liquid.

Makes 4 servings, between 1 and 1-1/2 cups each.
