ONE POT CHICKEN AND DIRTY RICE

This recipe was insanely delicious. I have spicy food averse family members so I eliminated the cayenne pepper. I kept the red pepper flakes in the marinade but eliminated for the second half of the recipe. The andouille sausage brought plenty of heat. This combo put the dish at about a medium spice level. We are headed to the mountains in February and this will be a perfect dish to warm us up after a day of playing in the snow.

Chicken thighs are cooked on top of a homemade dirty rice, which makes for the most flavorful Cajun-inspired dish you've ever had! Plus, all you need is one pot!
