OVEN BAKED JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• I use 2- 3 Tablespoons of Bayou Blast to spice this up (recipe#31001).

• Just season according to your family's taste.
• Cut chicken and sausage into bite-sized pieces.
• Mix together all ingredients in roaster.
• Cover.
• Bake at 350 degrees in oven for 1 hour& 15 minutes to 1 hour& 30 minutes.
• Stir once after 45 minutes.
• You must use a converted rice LIKE Uncle Ben's (you can use other brands as long as they are CONVERTED RICE).
• Do not substitute or you will get sticky, mushy results.
