Italian Jambalaya

• 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
• 2 skinned and boned chicken breasts, coarsely chopped (about 1 lb.)
• 2 boneless center-cut pork chops, chopped (about 1 lb.)
• 1 (10-oz.) package frozen diced onion, red and green bell peppers, and celery
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 (10-oz.) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles
• 1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste
• Hot cooked orzo or other pasta (about 8 oz., uncooked)
• Garnishes: thinly sliced green onions, shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Brown Italian sausage in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring often, 5 minutes or until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove sausage from Dutch oven using a slotted spoon, reserving drippings in Dutch oven.
2. Cook chicken and pork in hot drippings in Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring often, 4 to 5 minutes or until browned on all sides. Add frozen onion mixture and next 4 ingredients, and saute 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and green chiles, tomato paste, 1/4 cup water, and Italian sausage; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring often, 20 minutes.
3. Stir hot cooked orzo into jambalaya just before serving, or serve over hot cooked pasta. Garnish, if desired.
