Ingredients

  • 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 6 ounces smoked turkey sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1 cup bulgur
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

Directions

  1. Toss chicken with Cajun seasoning. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; saute chicken until browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan.
  2. In same pan, saute sausage until browned, 1-2 minutes. Add red pepper, celery and onion; cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce; cook 30 seconds. Stir in bulgur, broth, water, chicken and, if desired, cayenne; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until bulgur is tender and liquid is almost absorbed, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
