  • 2 cups uncooked rice
DIRECTIONS:

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add sausage and cook, stirring often, until no longer pink, 5-8 minutes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until beginning to soften. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spices and bay leaves and cook, stirring constantly and scraping pan bottom as needed, for 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring often, until chicken is no longer pink on outside, 5-8 minutes.

Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, and broth, stir to combine and bring to a boil.

Preheat oven to 350ยบ.

Add green onions and rice and stir to combine. Cover and bake until rice is tender, but still a bit crunchy, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves, season with salt and pepper, stir, and serve immediately.
