Category: Chicken
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

8 oz andouille sausage or kielbasa, coarsely chopped
2 large celery stalks, sliced
1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup long-grain rice
1 (14 1/2 oz) can chicken broth
4 green onions, sliced
1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs)
1 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, celery and bell pepper over medium heat until vegetables are softened. Add rice and broth; bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in green onions. Chill until cool.

Preheat oven to 425. Grease a baking dish. Wash chicken; pat dry. Stuff loosely with some of the rice mixture. Place remaining stuffing in baking dish; cover. Place chicken on a rack in roasting pan; tie drumsticks together with kitchen twine. In a bowl, combine butter and seasoning; spread mixture over chicken.

Roast the chicken for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375. Roast until cooked through, about 1 hour. During last 30 minutes, cook stuffing alongside in baking dish. Transfer chicken to platter; let stand for 10 minutes. Remove fat from pan juices; add 1/2 cup water to pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve with chicken. Serves 4.
