Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb andouille sausage sliced
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs cut bite-size
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen okra
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Cooked white rice for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Brown sausage and chicken quickly in a skillet, just to add color. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add browned meat and all remaining ingredients except parsley and rice to slow cooker.
  3. Cook on low 6–7 hours or high 3–4 hours until chicken is tender.
  4. Stir in parsley, check seasoning, and add salt or pepper as needed.
  5. Serve over hot rice. Kids usually pick out the okra, but that’s fine.
