1 1/2 chicken breasts, frozen
1 1/2 precooked Italian sausage links, sliced
8 oz ham, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp minced garlic
1/3 c diced onion
1/2 cup diced peppers, combo of red and yellow

Directions:
1. Dice chicken breasts while still frozen. This is so much easier than trying to do it when the chicken is thawed. Set aside.

3. Add chicken to the pan and continue to cook until almost cooked through.
4. Add ham and sausage. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
5. Add can of tomatoes (do not drain), water, vinegar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and seasonings.
6. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
7. Serve over faux (fake) rice*.
Faux Rice
*Faux rice is made by placing cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender and processing until you have a course texture. I blend a few large florets at a time by using the pulse mode. In a skillet cook cauliflower with a few tbsp oil in small batches over medium-high heat. It should get slightly brown but maintain its texture. Mushy cauliflower is not the goal.
