Cold rice works best in this recipe. If possible, make the rice a day ahead, and store it in the fridge. If you're in a hurry, follow Step 1 to cool it on a baking sheet. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice |
2 cups chicken broth |
1 pound skinned and boned chicken thighs |
1 1/2 teaspoons creole seasoning, divided |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/2 pound andouille or smoked sausage, sliced |
1/2 small onion, chopped |
1/2 small green bell pepper, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 cup frozen sliced okra, thawed |
3 plum tomatoes, chopped |
2 green onions, sliced (green part only) |
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions, substituting chicken broth for water. Spread cooked rice in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Let cool 30 minutes or until completely cool.
2. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces, and toss with 1 tsp. Creole seasoning.
3. Cook chicken in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat 3 minutes; add sausage, and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in okra and remaining 1/2 tsp. Creole seasoning. Increase heat to high; add rice, and cook, stirring constantly, 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in tomatoes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
