Serves 6

Ingredients:

  • 18 ounces chicken thighs
  • 12 ounces chicken sausage (chicken apple-cranberry sausage if available)
  • 2 cups green bell pepper, diced large
  • 1 1/2 cups celery, diced large
  • 1/2 cup Spanish onion, diced large
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 quart chicken broth, low sodium
  • 4 ounces okra, sliced (or fresh green peas)
  • 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 ounces Worchestershire sauce
  • 3 ounces cheddar jack cheese, shredded

Directions:

  • Brown sausage and chicken in non-stick pan
  • Add peppers, celery, and onions and sweat until tender. Add all else except green onion.
  • Let simmer until chicken is tender. You may have to add more broth for proper consistency. It should be like a stew.
  • Garnish with green onions

    • You can serve this in a bowl if you have a lot of liquid, or over rice.
