I added my spices after the stock went in and was boiling

Yeah don't do that next time. Add in your spices right at the beginning when you are sauteing the veggies. That way they are already in and mixing and releasing flavor when you add in the chicken and the sausage. Then everything can blend and mix and by the time the water/stock and rice comes in, everything has been seasoned.

I am a firm believer that no matter the dish, cutting every thing up myself fresh and adding it into the pot one at a time makes it taste better, whether or not that is all in my head, it is the way my mom was taught to cook by my Grandpa and the way they both taught me.

Try it out, then tell me if you think it makes a difference.
