Categories: Rice, Low-cal 
      Yield: 2 servings 
  
    1/2 c  Onion - chopped 
    1/4 c  Green pepper - chopped 
    1/2 c  Tomato - chopped 
      2    Clove garlic - minced 
      1    Bay leaf 
    1/4 ts Thyme 
      2 ts Parsley - fresh, minced 
    1/8 ts Freshly ground black pepper 
           -Pinch cayenne 
      1 c  Chicken stock - made without 
           -salt or fat 
    1/2 c  Rice - uncooked 
      2 oz Chicken - lean, cubed, 
           -cooked or raw 
  
  Heat a saucepan and add the onion and bell pepper.  Using a wooden spoon, 
  stir them over medium heat until they begin to color while you scrape the 
  sides and bottom of the pan to be sure that nothing sticks and burns. Add 
  the tomato, garlic, herbs and seasonings and stir together. Add the stock 
  and bring to a boil. Add the rice and chicken and bring to a simmer. Cover 
  and simmer gently for 20 minutes, then uncover and let the Jambalaya dry 
  out a bit. Fluff up the Jambalaya with a fork and serve. 
   
  NOTES: Different rices will vary this dish. Experiment. It is not necessary 
  that each grain be separate.  Jambalaya, by the nature of its cooking 
  process, may be somewhat sticky and perhaps the better dish for it. 
   
  VARIATION: Jambalaya can be made with shrimp, lean turkey sausage, smoked 
  chicken or smoked turkey.  Just remember to keep it light.
