Slow Cooker Chicken and Sausage Creole
Description
This recipe involves placing boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced andouille sausage, chopped onions, carrots, green and red bell peppers, minced garlic, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, Creole seasoning, and a dash of cayenne pepper into a slow cooker. The ingredients meld over several hours, allowing the spices to permeate the meat and vegetables.
The chicken is shredded after cooking and returned to the slow cooker to absorb more flavor. The result is a thick, fragrant Creole stew with tender chicken and smoky sausage pieces balanced by the sweet and spicy notes from the peppers and seasoning.
It is traditionally served with brown rice, which complements the rich sauce. Garnishing with chopped scallions adds a fresh contrast.
