But with tweaks...I cooked 3 chicken breasts in the crockpot with one can of chicken broth until done. Shredded the chicken and then added the veggies and one package of Jennie-O Turkey Smoked Sausage and another can of chicken broth. Thickened it up with a bit of heated olive oil and flour to make a roux and one can of tomato paste to give it flavor. The finishing touch was cajun spice and it was served over rice. I will definitely make this again. Healthy (we left out the bacon) and great for leftovers!
I loved the spice in this Cajun Chicken Ragu however I felt it needed some flavor on the front end not sure what though. I just heated up the leftovers for lunch and it was almost better the 2nd time around. Definitely a keeper for me!
My husband devoured this. I made it for him as it is really not my thing. It was definitely tasty for me but he thought it was the cats meow. He told me that he loved being married to me because there is always something new and exciting. Can't beat that compliment. It was begging for some crawfish ...definitely will add that next time and maybe some shrimp!
I do love ChefJohn's recipes. That said I made one change. I didn't have any cooked chicken so I roasted a couple leg quarters seasoned with some homemade creole seasoning. Once it was cool I stripped the bones and made a quick chicken stock with them and the skin. I think that gave it a more complex flavor. Ya it took some extra time but I think it was worth it!
This was really good but like another reviewer mentioned it seemed that it needed something. I added a little extra spice oregano and about 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Just seemed as if it needed some acid. I loved those changes.
Fantastic straightforward and easy to make. Perfect way to share in the Mardi Gras celebration!
Absolutely Delicious! I knew going into this recipe that I didn't have the time to cook chicken (Frozen chicken hungry teen begging for food = hurry up) so I made with only the andouille. I also cut back on the chicken broth - didn't feel I needed quite so much since there was no chicken. I didn't add more oil either... I had enough grease from the bacon to do the trick. We just loved loved loved it! We love spicy stuff so I just seasoned to our taste. Served it up over rice. Wonderful recipe! Thanks for posting!
Stayed true to recipe served it over brown rice and loved it. It did take me longer to make as I'm slow at prep work but worth the time will make this often.
Made this for friends who are foodies and they loved it! I enjoyed it but just not in my wheelhouse. It seemed like it was just a thrown together thing no matter how much I tried to up the ante. I put noodles in it as it was entirely the wrong consistency for rice or grits in my opinion.
