  1. Melt fat in large dutch oven or straight sided skillet with a lid. Add tasso and sausage and saut\u00e9 until crisp, about 5-8 minutes.<\/li>\n
  2. Add onions, celery and bell peppers (I chop these by hand to get a more even size and better texture). Saute until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
  3. Add chicken. Raise heat to medium high or high and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Add seasonings and garlic. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring and scraping pan bottom as needed.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the tomatoes and cook until chicken is tender, about 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the tomato sauce (if used); cook while stirring often. Stir in the stock and bring to a boil.<\/li>\n
  6. Add rice, shrimp and oysters; stir well and remove from heat.<\/li>\n
  7. Cover and bake at 350 until rice is tender, about 20-30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
