Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts cubed
- 4 chicken thighs bone-in, skin removed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon creole seasoning
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large sweet onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 large stalk celery chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 smoked sausage links or 1 curved long, sliced
- 2 Andouille sausage links sliced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 3 bay leaves
- 4 green onions chopped
- Handful of parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Coat the chicken in the garlic powder, onion powder and creole seasoning. Set aside.
- Add oil and flour to your pot and turn on heat to medium/high. Continuously stir the flour/oil combo as it can easily burn. This is a Roux and is very important that it’s right. You’ll want to keep stirring it until it is about the color of Hershey’s chocolate.
- Add the chopped onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic and sausage. Stir into the Roux and cook for about 5 mins.
- Add the stock and bay leaves and stir continuously.
- Add the seasoned chicken.
- Allow to cook on low/med for about 1 hr 20 minutes.
- Next add the chopped green onion and parsley.
- Cook for another 10 minutes.
- Serve with rice and potato salad.
