Introduction
Great way to use up leftover rice. Loaded with veggies melded deliciously with the creaminess from the cottage and cream cheeses. The chicken sausages are the perfect touch to finish it off and make it a full meal. Great way to use up leftover rice.

Ingredients
-
Tbsp olive oil
3 grated zuchinni
3 cups chopped kale
1 cup (about) chicken sausages (sliced)
1/3 cup white whine
1 cup canned diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, dried oregano
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup cottage cheese
2 Tbsp cream cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Tips
Replace chicken sausages with left over diced chicken breast, baked/fried tofu cubes, diced tempeh, or omit completely.
Use any veggies you want in replacement of the ones I used such as spinach, peppers or onions. Just saute and add!
Easy to make ahead: Cook according to directions then pour into oiled baking dish (like in my picture) and store in fridge. When ready to eat bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
