Chicken Bog

Ingredients

3 lbs Chicken Breasts (I do six chicken breasts bone and skin on)

1 lb smoked sausage (I pick the spicy smoked sausage)

1 stick butter

1 Cup Onion diced

2 -3 stalks celery diced (I added this)

2 tsp Lawreys seasoning salt

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

¼ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)

3 Bay leaves

8 Cups water (although I do 4 C chicken stock and 4 C water)

3 C raw rice (not instant)

Procedure

Melt butter…sauté onions and celery in butter.

Add water (stock), sausage, chicken, bay leaves, seasonings, bring to boil, cover and cook on medium low for 45 minutes. Remove Chicken and remove skin and bones, shred chicken and add back.

Add Rice and bring to boil for 10 minutes, reduce heat, simmer for 10-15 (or until rice done), remove bay leaves.

Ready to serve.

Special Notes
