Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3/4 cup celery (chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups onion (yellow onion chopped divided in half)
- 2 Tablespoons garlic (Fresh diced)
- 1 chicken (3-4 pounds whole)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- 1/4 cup butter
- ½ pound smoked sausage (sliced)

- 3 Tablespoons green onion (Fresh diced)
Instructions
- Place water, salt, celery, 3/4 cup onion and garlic in a large pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Add chicken and bring all to a simmer only. Do not boil or chicken will be tough. Simmer about 1 hour. Skim off any foam that rises on top and discard.
- Remove chicken and vegetables from pot and strain the liquid through a sieve. Remove skin and bones and chop remaining meat into bite size pieces and set aside.
- Skim off any excess fat from the broth.
- In a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot on medium heat, add the butter and fry the sliced smoked sausage and 3/4 cup diced onions until browned. Add in the chicken stock and bouillon and stir.
- Add in 7 cups of the chicken broth into the sausage mixture.
- Add the rice and chopped green onion and stir well. Add the chicken pieces and lightly stir.
- Bring the mixture to a light simmer and cover.
- Cook for about 20 minutes stirring gently once or twice until the moisture is absorbed and the rice is tender. Add additional broth if desired if it is too thick.
- Garnish with fresh diced parsley and green onion if desired.
