This is SO yummy I had to share. I got it off sparkpeople. It has 14.8 g Fat, 17.4 Carbs, 250.2 Calories and 11.9g Protein. A little high on the fat, but you can tweak it to make it less fatty.

2 tsp Sunflower Oil
1 C. Chopped/Sliced Italian Sausage
1 C. chopped onion
1/2 C. chopped green pepper
1/3 C chopped celery
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 1/2 C. uncooked long-grain white rice
2 10 oz cans chicken brother, plus 1 half can water
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 medium tomato, chopped
pepper to taste


Pour oil into large saucepan/wok and brown sausage. Drain oil, then add onions, bell pepper, and celery. Saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in rice. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add broth, paprika, thyme and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, and cook uncovered until tender.
Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

I used kielbasa & olive oil instead. Omitted the browning sausage part and just sauteed the veggies and kielbasa together w/ a little olive oil. I put 2 C. rice in and 3 C. chicken broth (which I made w/ water & bouillon) and 1 C water. It was SO yummy!!
