Chicken Bog Recipe- This extra cozy version of home-cooked chicken and rice hails from the Carolinas. Savory, filling, and just plain delicious, its one of those magnetic meals that gathers people around the table every time. 🥰
This recipe has been a staple in my kitchen for many years despite being somewhat obscure. While it definitely qualifies as a Southern dish, its most popular in South Carolina, where people claim it originated. Surprisingly, not everyone in the South has heard of it; bless their hearts!
I love the simplicity of this dish - chicken, rice, smoky sausage, and a rich broth. Add some carefully selected herbs and seasonings, and you will have an absolutely irresistible meal. Its home cooking at its finest.
Why Is It Called Chicken Bog?Opinions differ. Some say its because the chicken and sausage bog down in the rice, while others say its because its from the bog-laden Carolinas.
Other names include chicken perlo or chicken pilau. Whatever you call it, this rice dish is insanely good, so dont get too hung up on the name. 😉
