Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease Pan: Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking pan with cooking spray or oil.
-
Brown Chicken: In a frying pan, add olive oil and heat for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces a few at a time until golden. Remove and drain them on two layers of paper towels.
-
Prepare Sausage and Vegetables: In the same pan, add onions, garlic, green peppers, and kielbasa sausage. Cook over medium-high heat until the vegetables are lightly browned.

Drain Grease: To remove excess grease, transfer the cooked ingredients to a colander and rinse under hot water for 1 minute. Drain well.
-
Layer Casserole: Add the cooked ingredients to the greased baking dish. Spread them evenly.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Sprinkle the mushrooms over the sausage and vegetable layer. Then add water, rice, chicken bouillon, curry powder, paprika, and green peas. Gently stir to combine everything evenly.
-
Arrange Chicken: Place the browned chicken pieces on top of the casserole mixture.
-
Cover and Bake: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
-
Finish Baking: After the initial baking time, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Uncover the casserole and continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
-
Serve: Remove the Spanish rice with chicken and sausage from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy the flavorful blend of ingredients!
