Non-Balaya

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed

¼ cup butter

1 onion, finely chopped

½ cup minced green onion

1 bunch fresh parsley, minced

1 ½ teaspoons chopped garlic

5 cups chicken broth

1 (1 pound) package smoked sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced

2 cups uncooked white rice

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

Melt the butter in the large pot. Cook the onion, green onion, and parsley in the butter until the onions begin to soften, 4 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cooked chicken, sausage, and rice; bring to a boil for 2 minutes and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Do not remove cover or stir while simmering. Serve hot.
