Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 1 onion
  • 1 head of garlic split in half
  • 3 tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ smoked sausage link sliced
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt to taste
  • 2 cups rice
  • 4 cups saved broth plus ½ cup extra
  • green onion for serving
  • hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  • Add the whole chicken, celery, carrots, onion, and garlic to a large pot. Fill and cover with water, covering chicken with about 1 inch of water.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Mix in chicken bouillon. Simmer until chicken is done and tender, about 1 hour (depending on the size).
  • Discard the vegetables and remove the chicken. Shred the chicken from the bones into small pieces and reserve for later use.
  • Taste the broth and add more seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
  • In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add your oil. Add in the sausage pieces, browning on both sides about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from the pot.
  • Add in your onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Next, add in the seasonings and mix well.
  • Next, add in the rice, stirring often. Toast rice for 1 minute. Then, add back in your sausage and pour in the broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the lid and give everything a stir. Remove from the heat. Use a little of the reserved broth if needed to achieve your desired "wetness."
  • Stir in the reserved chicken. Next, add in the green onion. Serve in bowls and add hot sauce.
