Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium stalks of celery, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 (12-ounce) package andouille or smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola, divided
- 2 cups medium or long-grain white rice
- 2 1/2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 medium scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Vinegar-based hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, white pepper, and cayenne to create Creole seasoning. Set aside.
- Add diced onion, celery, bell pepper, and minced garlic to a bowl.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and some Creole seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same pot, add remaining oil and cook the seasoned chicken until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to the plate with sausage.
- Add veggie mixture, remaining Creole seasoning, and salt to the pot. Cook until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the rice and cook until opaque and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, return chicken and sausage to the pot, stir to combine, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 20-30 minutes.
