Great dinner with quail bog, red beans (omit sausage) and rice.  Sliced tomato, smoked garlic bread, and a glass, make that a bottle, of Malbac!  Good friends, good food, and good wine!

2     ounces smoked canola oil
1     medium onion, chopped
1/2   pound smoked beef sausage
2     teaspoons black pepper
1     teaspoon cumin
1     each chicken, cut in pieces, Quail or Dove Breast
2     cups water
2     tablespoons Chicken Base
1     cup rice
1     teaspoon kosher salt, to taste

Saute onions in smoked canola oil, add sliced sausage and spices.  Add water & chicken and bring to high simmer until chicken is tender and falling off bones.  Remove chicked and debone, return meat to pot.  Add rice and reduce to low simmer.  Stir occasionally. Cover and cook until  rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit until moisture is absorbed.  Stir rice.   You can also cook this in a covered pan in a 325 oven for about an hour.  Stir several times.

Quail or doves are absolutely great cooked this way!  Use 2  quail breast or 3 dove beast per person.
