To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

To start, heat the 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.
Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot and cook until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the flour to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Return the chicken and sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the etouffee over cooked rice.
This Creole-style Chicken and Sausage Etouffee is a perfect combination of spicy and savory flavors. The chicken and sausage are tender and juicy, while the sauce is rich and flavorful. The dish is best served over a bed of fluffy rice, which helps to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
