Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
- 10 oz andouille chicken or pork sausage sliced into rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 1/2 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 celery chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 14 oz crushed tomatoes preferably fire roasted
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth or more as needed
- 1 cup okra thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- green onions and/or fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chicken and sausage and sprinkle with ½ tbsp of the cajun seasoning. Cook until chicken is cooked through and sausage is browned, then remove with a slotted spoon.
- Add a splash of broth to the skillet to scrape up any brown bits, then add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic, remaining cajun seasoning, thyme, and cayenne and sauté for 1 minute.
- Next, pour in the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), tomatoes, rice, chicken broth, okra, and bay leaf, then add the chicken and sausage back in and give everything a good stir.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- Sprinkle with green onions or parsley before serving. Enjoy!
