- 17
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large chicken breast halves, on the bone
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 3⁄4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups rice, cooked (I use brown)
- 1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch pcs
- 14 1⁄2 ounces creole spiced stewed tomatoes
- 1⁄2 cup dry sherry
- 1 1⁄2 lbs medium shrimp, medium size, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup raw oyster, shucked, drained
- 1 cup crabmeat (fresh is best)
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- hot sauce (optional)
directions
- Bring a saucepan filled with 2 cups of water to boil and add some salt. Once at a boil, reduce the heat and boil the chicken breasts until they are done - about 25 minutes. Allow the chicken to cool in the broth and then remove them from the liquid. Reserve that chicken broth. Shred the chicken meat and put it aside.
- Melt the butter in a saute pan and saute the garlic, celery, green pepper and onion until the veggies are limp, about 3 minutes. Set this aside.
- Bring the reserved chicken broth to a boil. Then add the rice and sausage and bring it back to a boil. Add the tomatoes, the sauteed veggies, shredded chicken and sherry. Simmer this mixture for about 15 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, oysters and crab. Cover and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 5-8 minutes.
- Check your seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Add some hot sauce if you'd like!

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
