6 servings
50 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)

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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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).
