There's a lot going on here, but we're going to drill down on two things: two proteins, and two parts. The first part is our dueling pianos of proteins are juicy and delightful chicken thighs and slightly spicy yet purely delicious Italian sausage. The second part, creamy and extremely flavorful rice, chock full of vegetables like fresh poblano and bell pepper. Part one, part two, part thirty-two… all parts adding up to a thoroughly delicious whole.
