Steps:

• Drain the tomatoes well, reserving the liquid. Measure the liquid and add tomato juice to make 3 3/4 cups liquid.

• While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken into chunks. Cook in the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through about 3-5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet with a slotted spoon; add the sausage and green bell pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sausage is cooked through. Remove from the heat, tip the pan and remove the excess fat.

• Bake covered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with the swiss cheese, return to the over and bake about 2 minutes more, just until the cheese melts. (If the dish has been refrigerated, bake about 45 minutes before adding the remaining cheese).
