• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/2 pound smoked sausage
• 1 (8 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained

3. Boil the chicken breasts and cut them into bite size pieces.
4. Parboil the sausage. Drain and chop finely or pulse in food processor.

Notes

The flavor is best when the rice kernels are unbroken and not mushy.
