ADD RICE TO YOUR FAMILIES PLATES, IF THEY ARE NOT LOWCARBING


Use LG skillet over medium heat . add oil and butter to the pan. cube chicken and place in hot oil and butter. Brown for 3 minutes. add sausage , and cook 2 minutes more. Add onion , celery, and bell pepper and BAY, and cayenne pepper, or cayenne pepper sauce.

saute' veggies 5 minutes, stir in tomatoes and broth and season with cumin , chili, poultry seasoning , and worcestshire. Bring liquids to a boil and add shrimp.

Simmer shrimp 5 minutes untill pink and firm. remove the pot from the heat and place on a trivet. ladel jambalaya into shallow bowls AND ENJOY ... for tasty treat sprinkle with scallions.

I added 1 carb to all seasonings just incase, but I believe they are carbless=========40 carbs for the whole meal, if you only did half of the onion and bell pepper , it would be 34 for whole meal. You wont eat whole meal, and even if you ate half thAT would be 15 carbs, and I know you wont eat half, at least I don’t think

when I make this dish , I always have left overs,,, I am making it tonight for dinner with out rice for myself, but I will give hubby some rice.
REMEMBER TO OMIT RICE for yourself, add rice to their plate and then they can put the jambalya over it
