1 medium green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)

3 cloves garlic, minced

12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces

1 (about 12-ounce) package andouille or smoked sausage

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola, divided

2 cups medium- or long-grain white rice

2 1/2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

2 medium scallions, thinly sliced

Vinegar-based hot sauce (I like Crystal), for serving (optional)

Place garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground white pepper, and ground cayenne in a small bowl and stir to combine.47:{"name":"TheKitchn.com","slug":"thekitchn","termId":173480,"taxonomy":"authors","termTaxonomyId":172896,"description":"©2022 Apartment Therapy.
