Preparation Steps
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, stirring constantly until it turns a dark brown color, about 15 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic to the roux. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the Cajun seasoning, dried thyme, and bay leaves.
- Add the chicken thighs and sliced sausage to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 45 minutes, until chicken is tender.
