What ingredients are in Chicken Bog?
- Shredded chicken – I use leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken.
- Smoked Sausage – I use Adelle’s Andouille sausages which are also gluten-free.
- Bell pepper – red, yellow, or green – use whichever is your favorite or that you have on hand.
- Onion – I use sweet onions like Vidalia but you can also use a brown onion if you prefer.
- Carrot – we use fresh carrot rounds that we quarter, but you can also use frozen carrots.
- Celery – We enjoy the flavor from the celery, if you do not have a stalk or two of celery, you can omit it without substitution.
- Rice – do not use quick-cooking rice. You need whole long-grain rice for the recipe.
- Chicken Stock – I use unsalted chicken cooking stock that is gluten-free. You may use your favorite brand but if you use salted chicken stock, remember to decrease the salt in your overall dish.
- Parsley – I use fresh slat-leaf Italian parsley that has been minced. I stir this in right at the end and enjoy the pop of brightness it gives to the dish.
- Hot Sauce – optional. Your favorite brand is always the best.

I don’t understand the broth amount. In the recipe it states ‘3 cups’, then later it says ‘add the 2 cups of broth’ ????
