Continue to season the chicken while it cooks.

Once the chicken is browned, cut the andouille sausage into thin slices.

Add the sausage to the pot and let it cook down.

Add the Trinity (celery, bell peppers, and onions) to the pot and brown them.

Once the vegetables are browned, add the chicken and sausage back into the pot.

Add the rice to the boiling mixture.

Let it boil for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally without fully stirring.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, letting it cook for about 20 minutes.
