To get started you will need a few ingredients on hand. Make your list, check it twice, and get ready for some fantastic aromas to start wafting through the house. Here is what you will need to get started:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut in 1 inch cubes)
  • 1 pound sausage, sliced
  • Two large white onions, chopped
  • Two medium bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • One tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • One tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp red pepper

Using a dutch oven, pour in the vegetable oil and warm it up over medium heat. Pour in the chopped green onions, diced white onions, chopped bell pepper, red pepper, and 2 tsp of the cayenne pepper. Saute the vegetables over medium heat for about 20 minutes.

Add in the sliced sausage and continue to saute for about 10-12 minutes. Make sure you stir frequently.

While the veggies and sausage are cooking, sprinkle the salt, remaining tsp of cayenne, white pepper, and oregano over the chicken.

Once the sausage is cooked, add in the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 8-10 minutes, continually stirring.

Pour the rice into the chicken and sausage mixture and stir to coat well, for about 2 minutes.

Turn the heat down to medium/low and then add the 6 cups of water, stir, and then cover for the remaining 30 to 35 minutes. Do not stir for 30 minutes. You may have to cook a little longer if you are using brown rice in this recipe. Cook until all of the water is gone and the rice finished cooking.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

I love this recipe on so many levels. It’s not too spicy, and the flavors are just amazing. You can always add a little Tabasco if you want things a little hotter. I find my palate appreciates the spices just the way they are.
