Brown sausage in a little oil. Then remove extra oil. Leave the burnt crumbs.

Add onions, bell peppers, mince garlic, and green onions. Cook down a little until things start to water up. Keep stirring scraping the bottom, getting all the crusties from the sausage mixed into the gravy.

Add chicken and season with your favorite spices. Cook until almost falling apart.

Add rice until it looks like the right amount. Measure by the cup as you go. Then double how many cups you used of rice to add that much water. I usually substitute 1/2 of the water needed with chicken broth. Don’t forget to estimate how much juices you had in the pot before you added rice. That goes toward your total water amount.

Taste this mixture and add more seasoning if needed. It should be a little more saltier and spicier than how you want the finish product. The rice will soak it all up and swell so you have to compensate. Stir slowly as you bring back to a boil. When it starts to get thick, turn fire to low and cover for 10-15 min at a low simmer. Check to see if a little water is left at top. This is when you fluff your rice. Dig deep and flip over. Don’t mash.

Turn fire off. Cover and let rest for 30min.

What Sausage do you use and how long do you cook for?

Over 3 hours

I use to use Manda’s green onion sausage back home or my own Cajun sausage that I make. This was just some Alabama stuff they had at the store. I’m cooking handicapped over here. It usually comes out darker but I didn’t brown the sausage long enough.
 
Yup. I know some tasty food when I see it. You got that technique down. Throwing out crusty bits is a sin. Braising take time, you can't wait for it, go on down McDonalds they cook your food up real quick.

Question for you Southerners, though...them's stews n'at what we call winter food. What the heck yinz eat in the summertime? Are there any seasonal dishes in Louisiana or yinz just eat that warm hearty stuff year round?

The 1st cool front of the year, like when it gets in the 80s, Cajuns go crazy and fill Facebook up with pics of gumbo. I can eat it all year round. That’s like our winter food. Seasonal food is what’s in season. Crawfish run in spring and early summer, crabs summer, shrimp summer and fall, oysters fall and winter, frogs summer, fish all year, we eat what the land and laws provide at the time. Hotter weather we cooking outside, fried fish, bbq, seafood boils. Cold rainy days, more inside cooking, gumbo, soups and stews.

Every time you say yinz it reminds me of my wife's cousin. They live just outside of Picksberg in a town called Gibsonia. I always like going up there to visit it's a pretty cool place. Although I have to ship them up andouille before I go so I can cook for them.

Nice! I grew up about 15 minutes from Gibsonia.

I pretty much just throw on the Pittsburghese accent when I feel like it, usually after I've tipped a few back. I don't always have it.
 
Looks amazing Swamp, thanks for the tutelage
