Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya Cleaned up!

A Cajun staple! If you can not have shrimp, like me, add extra chicken!
Enjoy!!

2 lbs shrimp
2 lbs chicken - cut into bite size pieces
2 onions chopped
2 bell pepper chopped ( any color!)
2 stalks of celery chopped
Garlic - 2 tsp powder or use a few fresh cloves
15 oz can of no sugar added tomato sauce
3 cups of  no salt chicken broth  ( more if it dries out!)
Red pepper to taste ( some like it hot!)
 3 cups Brown rice
1 tsp olive oil ( just enough to soften veggies)

In a large pot saute' veggies ( onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic) in olive oil til soft.
Add chicken to pot and cook til mostly done. Add shrimp and cook til almost done ( do not over cook shrimp!)
Add everything else to pot. Cook on med heat til rice is done. Watch pot and stir often. Add more chicken broth if it gets to dry.

You can add more bell pepper and celery if you like, my husband is picky about his veggies so I try to use as few as I can get away with and still have flavor.
