I used jalapeno chicken sausage, chkn stock instead of water, cooked broccoli (left overs) and added a can of diced tomatoes with jalapeno. Used frozen bell pepper and onions cz that's what I had. Sauteed everything together (except rice) and prepared it all just like the directions said - all in one skillet. Will probably serve with a dollop of sour cream. I was impressed with how the rice turn out too. DELICIOUS ๐๐๐
