Chicken and Kielbasa go together like "lamb and tuna fish... maybe you like spaghetti and meatball? You more comfortable with that analogy?" (Gotta love Big Daddy.) I made this dish but lightened it up by using brown rice and low-fat ingredients. You can enjoy this dish even on a diet...right? It's pretty awesome. With our wedding coming up, Ivan has been trying to trim-down. I figured I would try my best to cook my normal meals but lighten them up so he doesn't feel guilty if he has seconds. And he always goes for seconds.
