Add garlic and rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add chicken stock, chicken, sausage, remaining salt, and ground red pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ¼ cup green onions and ½ cup chopped parsley. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve hot.
