I cook in home grown hot peppers from the garden as well. I use brown rice instead of white (takes longer), but this is the recipe I got from allrecipes.com One of my favorite dinners. You can use hot italian sausage instead of kielbasa ...

INGREDIENTS:
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
8 ounces kielbasa, diced
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups uncooked white rice
4 cups chicken stock
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce


DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Saute chicken and kielbasa until lightly brow ned,
about 5 minutes. Stir in onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Season with cayenne, onion
powder, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, or until onion is tender and translucent. Add rice,
then stir in chicken stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer
20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce.

You can cook the rice before hand also....

On all of my recipes ... I cook the veggies down till the onions turn clear first.....then add to the mix
