This makes a quick weeknight meal. I used diced chicken breasts and added lots of the seasoning mix. The sausage was a spicy chicken sausage and I think a spicy sausage is essential to making this dish. This was served with freshly sliced tomatoes, Parmesan toasted french rolls and recipe #18351 completed the meal. Made for *PAC September 2007*.
