Chicken & Sausage Creole

I love cajun food, anyway you want to cook it I love it! So with this dish you could do all seafood, all meat or do a mix or both....you can create your own creole!

2 teaspoons extra light olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
1/2 of a green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup of celery, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 14-ounce cans of diced tomatoes
8 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, shredded
2 links of Cajun sausage, cut into small discs
2 teaspoons fo Louisiana hot sauce (or whatever on you like the most)
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
salt to taste, if needed

In a large pot heat and add olive oil over medium heat, add onion, bell pepper, garlic and celery to the pot and saute until tender.
Add tomatoes and tomato sauce.
add cayenne pepper, cajun spice and bay leaf.....bring to a boil and then reduce to medium/low heat for 30 minutes.
While all those flavors are marinating together cook the chicken and shred, as well as the sausage and cut into small discs.
Once those are cooked add to the tomato mixture and let all those flavors come together for about 15 minutes.

Then serve over white rice and top with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.

Enjoy!!!!!
