Papa'S Jambalaya - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb pork, diced
    1 lb sausage, diced (like kielbasa)
    1 lb chicken
    1 lb onion, diced
    1/4 cup bell pepper
    1/4 cup celery
    1/2 cup green onion, divided
    2 tablespoons minced garlic
    1 lb rice
    5 cups reserved broth
    Kitchen Bouquet, to taste, less than 1/2 tsp
    Gravy Master, to taste, less than 1/2 tsp
Preparation
    Parboil the chicken. Save the broth, and debone the chicken. Dice into bite sized pieces.
    Saute chicken, pork and sausage in its own fat. Allow it to cook for a long time (at least 45 minutes) so that it will become tender.
    Remove the cooked meat from the pot, set aside.
    Saute the onion, green onion bottoms, garlic, and celery until transparent. Put the meat back into the pot. Add reserved broth, and enough water to make 5 cups total liquid added. Season to taste with kitchen bouquet and gravy master (you don't need more than 1/2 a teaspoon of either.) Add green onion tops.
    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for a while (at least 30 minutes) for the flavors to meld.
    Add the rice, and stir to prevent it from sticking. When the liquid is almost absorbed, remove from heat and cover the pot. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
    If you like it hot you can add cayenne pepper in with the spices.
