CHICKEN & SAUSAGE: JUSTIN WILSON STYLE
"Woooo-weeee"!!! (You would have to know him). Very simple to make and easy to freeze (before final cooking), to make for an extremely quick and delicious dinner. You will love it!!! As Justin would say... "I Garrrronnnnntteee It"!!! (You would have to know him). Enjoy! Edited: One reviewer suggested cutting the rice down to 3 cups and the chicken broth down to 6 cups... I would tend to agree, so the recipe has been updated. I just make batches upon batches of this to serve to roughly 50+ people at a time, either to take to the local home-less men that stay in the church basement once a week in town, or to our county's battered women & childrens shelter. So yes, I guess I do feed a lot of "starving students", and I am kinda stingy with the meats (I'm not rich). So you can use a 8 cup broth to 4 cup rice ratio, if need be. So just use your own judgement call on the amounts you decide to use. Great thanks to everyone who have tried this.

Steps:
- Heat 2 Tblsp of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or small dutch oven.
- Add the cubed chicken, sprinkled with Cajun seasoning, and brown it until almost cooked thru, then add sliced smoked sausage (its pre-cooked).
- Add the sliced onions, green bell peppers (I sometimes use a mix of green and red, depending what I have on hand), and celery (if using) and saute for 2 minutes.
- Add the rice, chicken broth, salt, cayenne pepper (and any additional Cajun seasoning to taste).
- Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cover. (Extra broth may be needed toward the end of cooking).
- Simmer for approx 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
- Stir once thru-out cooking time, but keep lid closed and make sure not to scorch the bottom).
- Check for done-ness by tasting it! If the rice is cooked and the chicken isn't pink on the inside, it's done.
- Sprinkle on a little fresh, chopped parsley and a pinch of "Gumbo File" after plating, (if desired). Serve and enjoy!

I stumbled upon a video of his tv show. "You know why de shicken cross de road, haaah? Really, to run away from dem Cajuns, I tell you dat right now, cause Cajun will eat mos' any-ting, an dey love to cook shicken." Cooking time is approximate since he says to "cook it a long time"...Id say 2 hours or more

Tips:
- Select high-quality chicken sausage: Opt for chicken sausage made with all-natural ingredients and avoid those containing excessive fillers or artificial additives.
- Slice the chicken sausage uniformly: This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Use a combination of cooking methods: Searing the chicken sausage in a pan adds a crispy outer layer while finishing it in the oven ensures it is cooked thoroughly and evenly.
- Add flavorful ingredients: Incorporate herbs, spices, vegetables, and sauces to enhance the taste of the chicken sausage. Experiment with different combinations to create unique flavor profiles.
- Pay attention to cooking times: Overcooking can dry out the chicken sausage, so follow the recommended cooking times closely. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
