This is a serious Cajun stew. Smoked sausage and diced chicken join carrots, celery, and onions in a Cajun-spiked tomato broth that simmers away in the crockpot until it's perfectly thick.

ready in:
  over 5 hrs

ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
2 medium potatoes, coarsely chunked (1/2 inch)
2 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely chunked (1/2 inch)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 pound boneless chicken breast
1 pound smoked sausage
1 can (14 ounce size) diced tomatoes
2 cups marinara sauce
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Cajun spice (to taste)
1 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper to taste

directions

Melt butter in a large saucepan/soup pan over medium heat. Add the onion, potatoes, carrots garlic and celery. Saute for 10 minutes until golden. Stir frequently so they don't stick.

Cut the chicken up into 1-inch pieces and add to the hot pan. Sear on all sides and cook for 5 minutes. Slice up the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch pieces and add to pot. Mix in and cook another 5 minutes.

Place all ingredients in a large crockpot and add together the tomatoes, marinara sauce, chicken broth and seasonings. Stir well.

Turn heat to low, cover and let cook for 5-6 hours or until vegetables are fork tender and broth has thickened. Re-season to taste. Serve with hunks of hot cornbread.
