Cook the Bog
Rest, Fluff, and Serve
Sauté one or two chopped jalapeños along with the other vegetables, and use a hot smoked sausage like andouille.
Add 1/2 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the pot during the last 5 minutes of the simmering time. Cover and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Stir in 1 cup of frozen green peas or corn when you add the rice for extra color and nutrition.
For a different smoky flavor, substitute the smoked sausage with shredded smoked turkey leg or wing meat, adding it with the shredded chicken.
With a generous amount of chicken and sausage, this dish provides high-quality protein essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.

As a classic comfort food, Chicken Bog can have a positive impact on mood and well-being. The savory, rich flavors make for a deeply satisfying meal.
Chicken Bog is a traditional one-pot rice dish from the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Its name comes from the 'boggy' or moist consistency of the final dish, where the chicken, sausage, and rice are cooked together in a rich, homemade chicken broth until the rice absorbs all the savory flavors.
While you can, it is strongly discouraged for an authentic result. The bones and skin from the chicken are essential for creating the deep, flavorful broth that is the foundation of this dish. Using boneless chicken will result in a significantly less flavorful bog.
Chicken Bog is a hearty and calorie-dense comfort food. It's rich in protein from the chicken and sausage but can also be high in sodium and saturated fat, depending on the sausage used. It's best enjoyed as a satisfying, occasional meal rather than a daily health food.
A typical 1.5-cup serving of this Chicken Bog contains approximately 800-850 calories. The exact number can vary based on the specific type of chicken pieces and sausage used.
Store leftover Chicken Bog in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The bog will thicken as it cools. To reheat, add a splash of chicken broth or water to a pot or microwave-safe bowl with the bog and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
