• 1 cup finely chopped green onion
• 2 pounds smoked sausage sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 3 cups long grain rice
• 8 cups chicken stock
• 1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
• salt to taste
• cayenne pepper to taste

Directions

In a heavy, high walled chicken fryer over med. heat, brown the chicken in the oil, stirring the meat around so it won't stick. After the chicken has been browned, remove it from the pot. Then add the onions, bell pepper, parsley, and green onions, and saute until the onions are clear. Stir in the sausage, rice, stock, garlic, chicken and salt and cayenne pepper.
