1 lb smoked sausage

Measure and mix the seasonings in a small bowl. Set aside. In your cooking pot, sauté the sausage and chicken in 2T of oil until brown. Remove and set aside. Add half the onion, celery and bell pepper to pot, then cook until tender. Return chicken and sausage with remaining onions, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Stir in the seasoning mix. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add rice to the boiling mixture and stir to prevent sticking. Return mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover for 10 minutes.
