Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute OSCAR MAYER Turkey Smoked Sausage for the kielbasa.

Keeping it Safe

Remember for safety's sake to keep the handles of simmering skillets and pots turned inward on the stove top rather than facing out. This prevents them from being knocked off the stove and burning someone.

FIRST!! DO NOT use olive oil. I dont like to fry and it was the only oil i had....way too strong. I dont think the amount of oil and flour is enough to saute in the beginning (again...cdv been the OO) however, it came out pretty good. I used red, orange, and yellow peppers and canned chicken. Ill add shrimp next time bc i can see that in it. I also used crushed red pepper and tomato soup and water. With initial trial and error this is still a winner.

I used 1 1/2 c diced tomatoes instead of the vegetable juice. Also used red/yellow and orange peppers instead of the gr peppers.

I used the spicy V-8 juice. Gave it a bit of a "kick". Everyone loved it.

We had this for supper! First I browned the chicken, a little, incorporated beef kielbasa, and (1) medium onion. The chicken was juicy, and tender. Added one drained can of dark red kidney beans, for color. Served it over rice. Next time, maybe I'll add a little shrimp. Very tasty! I would reccommend this recipe to anyone who loves to top off rice. Thanks,again.

I am not sure I will make this recipe again. I used only kielbasa and this recipe needs much more zipp!

My family liked this very much, however, I did tweak it a bit. I added frozen green beans to make it more of a meal. I added 7 ounces of shrimp that I happened to have. I didn't have any vegetable juice cocktail so I used canned tomato sauce and water. I also used regular Polska Kielbasa instead. Anyway... It was great.

The kids thought it was a little spicy. I will probably take a portion out for them before adding the red pepper next time.

Very Yummy and quick to make. I actually was surprised at how good it did taste, and would add shrimp next time instead of the chicken.

This was soo good! Even the kids liked it. Perfect amount of spice. Would like to try it again and add some shrimp and frozen okra, a bit more juice....was very flavorful in a delightfully different way!
