Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 Polish sausages, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 3 green bell peppers, seeded and diced

  • 2 zucchini, chopped, or to taste

  • 1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup rice

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 pound chopped cooked chicken breast

  • 1 pound peeled cooked shrimp

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir sausage and onion until onion starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Mix green bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf into onion-sausage mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender and mixture is thickened, about 15 minutes.

  3. Stir chicken and shrimp into tomato-sausage mixture; simmer until chicken and shrimp are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
