1 small broiler-fryer chicken
1 rib celery with leaves
1 onion, halved
1 clove garlic
2 cups converted long grain rice
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound ham, cubed
1/2 stick butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 large bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco

In a large pot, cover chicken with water; add celery, onion, garlic; boil until tender, about 1 hour. Reserve stock. Remove meat from bones. In 5 cups stock, cook rice until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

In a Dutch oven, fry sausage and ham until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove meat. Add butter to pan and sauté onion, pepper, and parsley until tender, about 3 minutes. Add chicken, sausage, and ham; stir in garlic, tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Add rice and mix thoroughly. Cook over low heat 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove bay leaf and serve.
