Ingredients

• Cooked chicken (chopped in bite sized pieces), 4 cups
• Andouille sausages (cut in ¼ inch pieces), ½ pound
• Flour, ½ cup
• Peanut oil or olive oil, ½ cup
• Green bell pepper (chopped), 1 cup
• Celery (chopped), 1 cup

• Tomatoes (chopped), 2 medium
• Garlic (minced), 2 tsp
• Cajun seasoning, 2-3 tsp
• Chicken broth, 3 cans

Preparation

1. Take a pan and add the oil to it. Heat it on medium high and slowly add flour in it. Whisk briskly, and continue to add the flour to the oil. Keep whisking for five minutes or until the flour becomes brown in color. Make sure it does not get burned.
2. Then lower the heat a bit and add all the vegetables to it. You will have to stir the contents of the pan continuously. Do this for 3 minutes, and then add Cajun seasoning, chicken broth and sausages to it.
3. Bring to a boil then lower heat and let cook for another 20 minutes.
4. Now add in the chicken pieces, cook for another two minutes and serve hot!
