Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil (plus 2 tablespoons)
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cubed)
- 1 pound andouille sausage (or smoked sausage, chopped)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 3 ribs celery (chopped)
- 2 g reen bell peppers (chopped)
- 1 cup frozen okra (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 tablespoons low sodium cajun seasoning (I prefer homemade)
- 6 to 8 cups chicken broth
- 4 g reen onions (sliced)
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley (divided)
Steps
-
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add chicken and sausage to the pot and cook until you get a deep crust. Do not stir too much.
-
Remove the chicken and sausage from the pot and set aside.
-
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of oil and the flour to the pot. Cook over medium-low heat, while whisking, until brown in color with a nutty fragrance.
-
Once the roux reaches the desired color, add onion, celery, and bell peppers. Cook for 5 minutes.
-
Add okra, garlic, and seasonings and cook for an additional 5 minutes. The mixture will appear a bit stringy.
-
Add the browned chicken and sausage and the broth to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
-
Add green onions and half of the parsley. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until it reaches desired consistency.
-
Remove bay leaves and serve over rice with remaining parsley.
