Preparation
STEP 1
Heat olive oil in a pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add sausage meat, break up with wooden spoon and brown. Remove from pan.
STEP 2
Add chicken pieces to pan and cook in sausage fat until starts to brown. About 3-5 minutes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
STEP 3
Add minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and salt. Mix well to coat and toast. Add sausage back to pot.
STEP 4
Add tomatoes, broth, and bay leaf. Mix and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cover pot. Stir occasionally, and cook until flavors are well developed, and chicken is fully cooked. About 30-40 minutes. Check seasoning for salt and serve over rice with sliced green onions and Cajun hot sauce.
Options
Another option for the recipe would be using lentils rather than chicken. Add 1 cup dried lentils to step 3 and increase broth to 3 cups.
This recipe can be made in the slow cooker. Brown the sausage first then add to slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
For the instant pot, cook steps 1 and 2 on the sauté function. Add and mix in remaining ingredients. Cover and secure the lid and pressure valve. Cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow a 10-minute manual release, and release the remaining pressure manually.
