For the chicken, either just buy a whole rotisserie chicken, use you hands to pull it apart and get rid of the skin, skip the cooking part, just adding the chicken in when it's ready to go in the oven; or just buy like 6 chicken thighs and two breasts

Step 1

- It's helpful to go ahead and slice up and prepare all the ingredients above before you start cooking. - Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. - In a heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot, Add the butter and heat over high heat until the butter melts (won't take more than a few seconds). Add the onions and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen up any little browned bits that might be sticking. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the onions just begin to brown. Add the sausage, and 2 tablespoon of the spice mixture and cook, continue scraping the bottom of the pot, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat and onions are caramelized. Add the green peppers, celery, chile, garlic, and remaining spice mixture and cook for 5-10 more minutes. Keep scraping the bottom as you stir. Stir in the tomato sauce and the tomato paste and return the chicken to the pot (or put it in for the first time, if a rotteseri). Add the rice, stock, and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook for 45-60 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid absorbed. Remove for oven. Serve. Top individual portions with the chopped green onion.
