    I’m out of bacon but I always keep a jar of leftover bacon drippings in my fridge and added about a tsp of that instead. Soooo good! I do want to remake it with the actual bacon but this was a good sub in a pinch! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    This sounds like an upgraded version of what we, in the south, call chicken bog. It’s so popular, we even have cook offs. Ours is just chicken, kielbasa, and rice cooked in chicken stock and seasonings. And it used to be considered poor man’s food, but we still love it! Your recipe looks and sounds delicious. I’ll definitely have to give it a try!
