1/2 Cup Flour  
Cup Vegetable oil  
Cup Onions, coarsely chopped  
-1/2 Cup Celery, coarsely chopped  
Cup Green pepper, coarsely chopped  
Cup Chicken broth  
-1/2 Teaspoon Fresh garlic, minced  
Pound Andouille sausage finely diced [or any spicy smoked  
sausage such as Keilbasa]  
4
Cup Fluffy rice  
Cut chicken breasts in half crosswise to get a total of 10 pieces of  
chicken. Season with salt, cayenne pepper and garlic powder and let stand at  
room temperature for 30 minutes. Measure flour into a large paper bag. Add  
chicken pieces and shake until well-coated. Remove chicken and reserve the  
flour.  
In a large skillet, brown chicken in very hot oil, remove and set aside.  
Stir oil remaining in the skillet with a wire whisk to loosen any brown  
particles remaining in the bottom of the pan. Whisk in 1 cup of the  
remaining flour and stir constantly until the mixture of oil and flour [the  
roux] becomes dark brown [not black though]. Remove from heat and add  
onions, celery and green bell pepper, stirring constantly so they do not  
burn.  
Transfer roux and vegetables to a large heavy saucepan. Add stock to roux  
and vegetables and bring ot a boil, stirring. Lower heat to a quick simmer  
and add garlic, sausage and chicken. Continue cooking, covered, until the  
chicken is tender, 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Adjust seasonings and serve in pretty  
bowls over steamed white rice.
