Ingredients

2 1/2 lb. chicken (2 skinless thighs; 2 large boneless, skinless breast halves)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere’s)
1 tsp. garlic powder
5 Tbsp. canola oil
12 oz. Andouille sausage links, sliced
4 large bell peppers (2 red, 2 green), diced
1 medium onion, diced
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 1/2 cups sliced frozen okra
4 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Step 1Sprinkle chicken with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup flour, Creole seasoning, and garlic powder. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add chicken to bag, 1 piece at a time, and shake to coat. Transfer chicken to pot and cook over medium heat, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
2. Step 2Transfer chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate and add sausage to pot. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add peppers and onion, and cook until slightly softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage-vegetable mixture to a bowl and set aside.
3. Step 3Wipe pot clean and set on medium-low heat. Add remaining flour and oil, and stir constantly until a deep-brown roux forms, about 10 minutes. Add reserved sausage-vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Stir in chicken broth, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Add chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer for about 40 minutes.
4. Step 4Remove chicken from pot and shred into bite-size pieces, discarding thigh bones. Return chicken to pot and add tomatoes and okra. Simmer until okra is tender, about 10 minutes. Serve over rice. Garnish with parsley.
