Chicken and Sausage Creole

I love the one dish wonder thing--we eat this a lot and it is so YUMMY! :)

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
2 14 oz chicken broth
1/2 lb sausage links cut into 1/2 inch rounds
1 med onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 14oz can diced tomatoes
2 tsp parsley
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
2 bay leaves

1. Cook rice according to package instructions, but substitute the water for chicken broth.
2. Saute sausage and the next 4 ingredients in a lightly greased large pot over med heat for 5 minutes or until veggies are tender. Stir in the remaining broth, chicken and the next 5 ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat . Reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
3. Remove the bay leaf and serve the mixture over rice. :)
