Sauté for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft and almost tender. Add the remaining tbsp of olive oil, the chicken and sausage and stir to mix everything well. Fry everything for another 5 min, or until the chicken is no longer pink and almost cooked.

Add the chicken stock, Cubetti, rice, cajun seasoning, bay leaf, thyme and cayenne and stir to mix everything well. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for about 25-30 min or until the rice is cooked. Stir occasionally. Don't forget to do this, otherwise the rice might burn on the bottom of the pan.
