Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKEN BROTH (See Recipe Notes for Easier Option)
- 1 whole chicken 4-5 pounds – keep whole or cut up as desired – livers and gizzards discarded and saved for another use
- 1 large onion quartered
- 2 ribs celery rough chopped
- 1 carrot rough chopped
- 1 leek chopped (white part only)
- 5 cloves garlic rough chopped
- 1 sprig parsley
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
FOR THE CHICKEN BOG
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion chopped (white or yellow)
- 2 bell peppers chopped (I used 1 red and 1 green)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 pound andouille sausage sliced (or use other smoked sausage)
- 2 cups rice Carolina Gold preferred, medium or long grain – rinsed unti water runs clear
- 1 chicken bouillon cube optional, for extra flavor – try Knorr Brand
- salt and black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
FOR THE CHICKEN BROTH
- Add the chicken to a large stock pot along with onion, celery, carrot, leek, and garlic. Add just enough water to cover the chicken. Top with parsley, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 40-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Skim any fats from the surface if needed.
- Remove from heat and carefully remove the chicken to a large platter (tongs are helpful). Cool slightly, then remove the meat and shred it with forks. Set aside. Discard the chicken bones.
- Strain the chicken broth into a large bowl and discard the solids.
FOR THE CHICKEN BOG
- Heat the oil in the same large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers. Cook for 5-10 minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic, paprika, and andouille sausage. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute to lightly brown the rice.
- Add 1 quart of the reserved chicken stock, reserved shredded chicken, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir. (Keep extra chicken broth on hand as needed.)
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the rice is cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Stir the Chicken bog to separate any rice. For wetter or soupier rice, stir in ¼ cup reserved chicken stock until you reach a consistency you prefer. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- Stir in fresh chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- You can make this with other foul, like pheasant.
- Save and freeze any extra chicken broth for another use.
- You can serve this more rice forward (like a risotto) or more soupy (like a chicken and rice soup), to your preference. Simply adjust the amount of broth while serving.
- Easy Chicken Broth Option: You can skip the chicken broth making step and instead use store bought or homemade chicken broth.
