- 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions
Combine the shrimp, chicken and Essence in a bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.

Add the garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves, Worcestershire and hot sauces. Stir in the rice and slowly add the broth.
