My family is a big fan of sausage. However I decide to prepare it, they gobble it up! Today, I’m sharing this oh-so-yummy, Quick and Easy, Sausage, Chicken and Black Bean Paella recipe. The “Paella” is made with a package of yellow rice, sausage, black beans, and a few other ingredients and everybody loves it!
What is Paella?
Traditionally, Paella is a Spanish Rice dish made with meat, seafood, veggies, and rice, flavored with saffron and other spices. We love all these flavors, but for the most part, I don’t have the desire to cook this dish from scratch (or seafood for that matter.)
I’ve put together a fun Tex-Mex twist on Paella to make a quick and easy shortcut recipe for you and your family to enjoy. (We sure do!)
To make this Sausage, Chicken and Black Bean Paella Recipe have more of a Tex-Mex flair, I loaded up on the cumin, black beans, corn, and red peppers. I included a mix of precooked chicken and sliced smoked sausage. (Doesn’t sausage make everything better, lol?)
Ingredients in this Black Bean Paella
Want to give this Black Bean and Sausage Paella a try? These are the ingredients to add to your grocery list:
- Yellow rice, prepared (look for a package that makes 6 cups)
- Red pepper (you can leave this out if your yellow rice has red peppers in it)
- Garlic cloves
- 13 oz package smoked sausage
- 1 to 2 cups pre-cooked Chicken
- Chicken broth
- Paprika
- Cumin
- 14 oz can petite diced tomatoes
- Frozen corn (canned works too)
