How to Make Southern Style Chicken Perlo With Andouille Sausage

1. Place chicken in a large pot. Add water to cover, onion, bay leaf, thyme sprig, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until chicken is tender, about 50 minutes.

2. Transfer chicken to a cutting board or platter and let cool completely. Remove bones, fat, and skin from chicken. Chop chicken into bite-size pieces and set aside.

3. Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add sausage pieces; brown on all sides. Add rice and paprika to the pot; stir over medium heat until rice is coated with oil and browned bits are stirred from the bottom. Add Swanson® Chicken Broth and browned sausage pieces.

4. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and cook until rice has absorbed the broth, about 30 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.

5. Stir the chicken pieces into the rice. Top with chopped hard-cooked egg just before serving.

Southern Style Chicken Perlo With Andouille Sausage Reviews

• I only added two more boiled eggs. This came out wonderfully. Ive messed this recipe up in the past by trying to cook the rice and chicken together. Delicious this way

• Great recipe I added more seasoning like Cajun marinade chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Worcester sauce and a bit of cayenne red pepper powder.

• Even with the andouille, this dish is really bland. It needs onions, sweet peppers, some cajun or creole seasoning, etc.
