A delightful twist on traditional chili, blending the rich flavors of Cajun cuisine with tender chicken, smoky sausage, and a hint of spice.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 pound andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Brown the sausage: Add the sliced andouille sausage to the pot. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine ingredients: Stir in the shredded chicken, shrimp, white beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Mix everything well to combine.
  4. Bring to a boil: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season to taste: After simmering, taste the chili and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Serve and garnish: Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro for an added burst of freshness.
