Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken and sausage are cooked through and the flavors have melded.
- Gently stir in 2 cups of long-grain white rice. Increase heat to medium and stir well to combine.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork before serving.
- Serve in 4 large bowls, garnished with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
