Chili-Lime Chicken and Sausage

In a previous post I told you about Pinterest and how much I love it. Well, I found a recipe for shrimp "boil" kabobs and I decided to adapt it.  It was too hot to grill, and I had chicken instead of shrimp... so here's what happened!

I cut up one package of Eckridge Sausage and one pound of chicken breasts into 1-1/2 in. pieces.  I put them in a bowl and tossed them with:
1 tbs. Pampered Chef Chili Lime Rub
1 tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The juice from 2 limes

Then I put them in a skillet {sprayed with Pam} over medium heat.

While they started cooking, I chopped up half an onion {if you like onion, you could use the whole thing}.  Once the chicken was almost cooked {after about 7-10 minutes} I added the onion to the pan.

Meanwhile, I had a few ears of corn boiling.  Once the corn was cooked, and the chicken+sausage+onion was done {5-7 minutes after adding the onion}, I added the corn to the skillet, turned the heat to low, and covered the pan.  This lets the flavor of the sausage, etc. mix with the corn.

 While this marinated {10 minutes, stir after 5 minutes}, I sauteed some zucchini in olive oil and the chili lime rub {cook over medium heat, about 3-4 minutes per side}.

Kenny said this was the best new recipe yet ;) I think he just likes it 'cause it's different. Anyway, I liked it and I hope you do too!
