Ingredients

8 to 12 ounces andouille sausage sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in about 1½-inch chunks
2 medium yellow onions diced
1 green bell pepper diced
3 celery ribs thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups diced fresh tomatoes or 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup sliced okra
3 to 4 cups cooked rice
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the sausage. Set a Dutch oven over medium heat and add sausage slices. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Make a roux. Add the butter and vegetable oil to the Dutch oven; melt and swirl to coat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly until the flour mixture starts to brown.
Sauté the chicken. Add chicken and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add veggies. Stir in the onions, chopped bell pepper, celery, garlic, cajun spice, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add more cooking oil if needed.
Make it soupy. Pour in the chicken broth and add tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Put it all together. Add the previously prepared sausage and sliced okra to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve over prepared rice and garnish with parsley.
