Don’t worry, the dirty part of this is from all of the yummy paprika, garlic and salt. The seasonings add a beautiful color to the rice—hence the word, dirty! This has become a dinner staple in my house each week. Sometimes I skip the sausage and add more chicken. It is always a family pleaser, even with the kids! Hope you try out this chicken with dirty rice soon!
