Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage sliced and halved
- 1 cup diced sweet onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups long grain white rice
- 1 cup frozen peas
- salt and pepper
- hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Set a large 6+ quart saucepot over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted, stir in the sliced kielbasa. Brown the sausage for 2 minutes.
- Then stir in the diced onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, liberally salt and pepper the chicken pieces. Once the veggies have softened, push them to the sides and move the chicken pieces to the bottom of the pot, skin-side-down. Brown for 2-3 minutes. Flip the chicken over and add the broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Cover and simmer on medium to medium-low for 25 minutes. Remove the chicken pieces with tongs. Discard the skins and bones. Break the chicken meat up a little bit, then stir the chicken chunks back into the broth.
- Use a wooden spoon to clear any stuck-on debris from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the rice. Then cover and cook the rice for 15 minutes.
- Once the rice is soft and you see vent holes in the top layer of rice, turn off the heat.
- Stir in the frozen peas to warm. Taste, then add salt and pepper as needed. Serve with hot sauce on the side.

Notes
- You can use a whole chicken is desired. You can also add long grain brown rice if desired, but it will increase the cooking time. Use the package instructions as a guide.
