Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs*
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup okra chopped (I used frozen)
  • 1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage sliced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and celery and sauté, stirring frequently until softened, about 12 minutes.
  • Add the chopped chicken and Cajun seasoning, and stir to brown the chicken, about 1 minute.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the rice and bring to a full boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until all vegetables are softened and chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve over cooked brown rice.

Notes

*you may replace the chicken thighs with 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
