1. In a large stew or stock pot sauté in the butter or olive oil the onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic with the salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning over medium heat until onions are translucent. 2. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken, sausage,. 3. Simmer on medium for about 15 – 20 minutes, usually the time it takes for the rice to cook. Observe how the aroma of the cooking draws in people around you. 4. Cook the rice according to package directions in the chicken broth. I like to use 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon of Bijol to give the rice a nice yellow appearance. I use a rice cooker. (If no Bijol, add a little paprika (smoked is best), and Cajun seasoning) 5. When the rice is cooked, turnoff the stew pot and fold the rice into the mixture in the stew pot until blended well and stir in the green onions. Then let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the goodness. Don’t skip this step! 6. Adjust seasoning to taste fold the mixture one more time and serve with a nice green salad and French bread, and a bottle of Crystal hot sauce on the table! Feeds about 10 - 15 normal people or 8 hungry Cajuns!! Enjoy!!
