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 few other ingredients and everybody loves it!
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. So, I’ve put together a quick and easy short-cut recipe for you and your family to enjoy. (We sure do!) This post brought to you by Butterball Every Day. The yummy Sausage and Chicken Paella recipe, photos and opinions are 100% mine.
I lightened up this Paella recipe a bit by using Low Fat, Butterball Turkey Dinner Sausage. (It’s made with 100% turkey and has 60% less fat than beef or pork sausage.)
This recipe makes quite a bit, but it’s so yummy. I doubt it will last long!
