Ingredients
- 1 (13 oz) package smoked sausage, sliced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken (or turkey)
- 8 oz trinity mix (fresh diced onions, bell peppers, and celery)
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth (or stock)
- 2 (10 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
- 1 tablespoon Cajun (or creole) seasoning
- 2 cans red chili beans (15–16 oz each), undrained
Steps
- Preheat 4-quart saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Slice sausages into ¼-inch rounds. Pour oil into pan and add sausages. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until browned. Remove sausages from pan, reserving pan drippings and oil.
- Add chicken and trinity mix to same pan. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains and chicken is 165°F. Reduce heat to medium and stir flour into chicken mixture. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until flour has browned.
- Stir broth slowly into pan until blended. Return sausages to pan and stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chili has thickened. Serve with green onions, sour cream and pork rinds (if desired).
