Dinner Recipe: Chicken Bog
Servings: 6
allrecipes ~ Step by Step
"Chicken bog is a cross between a casserole and a stew. It's chock-full of chicken, sausage, rice, and onions, and it's great comfort food when it's cold outside," says MARBALET. "This recipe is what's called 'Lowcountry cooking,' a term used in the coastal regions of South Carolina, where chicken bog is often served in restaurants."
Recipe by: MARBALET
-
Ingredients:
- 6 cups water
- 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ½ pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons Italian-style seasoning or to taste
- 2 cubes chicken bouillon
- Gather all ingredients.Bring water, chicken, onion, and salt to a boil in a large pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Skim and discard fat from cooking liquid. Measure 3 ½ cups of cooking liquid and pour into a 6-quart saucepan. Discard remaining cooking liquid.
- Remove and discard chicken skin and bones. Chop meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Add chicken to the cooking liquid in the saucepan. Add sausage, rice, Italian seasoning, and bouillon. Set over medium-low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring often, until thickened to desired consistency, 10 to 20 more minutes.
