Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

8 cups chicken broth or stock

3 tablespoons tomato paste

2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked

1 pound andouille sausage, sliced into ½ inch pieces

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season chicken all over with salt. Working in batches, sear chicken until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter, then set aside until cool enough to handle. Once chicken has cooled, shred into bite-size pieces.
