    4-5 cloves of garlic minced
    1.5 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1.5" cubes
    2 links of sausage (6 oz)
    1lb peeled raw shrimp. (I used extra large but whatever size you have will work)
    2 medium zucchinis sliced (approx 2 cups)
    14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
    3c chicken broth
    1tbsp paprika
    .5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
    2c + 5oz of white rice. (original recipe called for 3c white rice and 5oz package of saffron rice. I used all white rize and sazon seasoning)
    1c canned peas
    approx .33 c chopped green onion. (I used three stalks)
    2 packets sazon seasoning.

Directions

1. In a very large skillet coated with nonstick spray, saute the onion, green pepper, garlic, chicken, and sausage over medium heat for 7-10 minutes or until the chicken is almost done.

2. Add the shrimp and continue cooking 5-7 minutes. Add the zucchini, tomatoes, broth, paprika, red pepper, rice and Sazon packets. Mix together, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is done and the water is absorbed. Add the peas and stir, sprinkle each serving with green onion.
