- 1 green bell pepper, chopped

To start, heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sausage and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and sausage from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, bell peppers, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the flour to the pot and stir until the vegetables are coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the Cajun seasoning, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Add the chicken and sausage back to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the etouffee over cooked rice.
