A classic Cajun dish that’s a flavorful mix of rice, chicken, sausage, and vegetables.

Preparation: 20 minutes

Cooking: 1 hour

Total: 1 hour 20 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 lb Andouille sausage, sliced
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 cups long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup frozen peas
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken and sausage, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil and spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Pour in the chicken stock and diced tomatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes or until the peas are heated through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
