An Easy Smothered Okra with Chicken and Sausage Recipe!

I LOVE cajun smothered okra with chicken and sausage. But then again, y’all know I have a thing for cajun and creole food. Like seriously. I can never get enough of Seafood Gumbo, Red beans and rice,  and Jambalaya. I don’t know if it’s because of my Louisiana roots, or what, but I can never pass up a good old fashioned cajun or creole dish!

While you’re here, check out some of my other cajun dishes!

CHICKEN & SAUSAGE GUMBO

Tender chicken and okra in a delicious gravy over tender white rice served in a simple white dish.

I love making smothered okra with chicken & sausage because it’s not only freaking AH-MAZING, but it’s also inexpensive. The main ingredients are chicken, smoked sausage, okra, onions, celery, and bell pepper. ALL super affordable ingredients.

For the chicken I like to use party wings ( the wingettes & drumettes), however chicken thighs, and legs can be used(some people even use chicken breast). As for the sausage, I used cajun andouille sausage is used for this dish. HOWEVER, you can use regular smoked sausage ( hot or spicy).

To season this dish I used as nice amount of garlic, black pepper, and cajun seasoning. If you’d like to add more spice to your dish, feel free to add in some red pepper flakes.Tender okra and chicken with smoky sausage on a bed of rice served in a white bowl on a red and white checked tablecloth.

To achieve a nice rich brown color, I added in a nice amount of paprika. Adding the paprika is completely optional!

    Can I use boneless chicken thighs instead of wings? If so, do I cook it the same way?

    Hi I came across this website by accident earlier this week. Everything sounds amazing. I’ve already printed most of the Southern food recipes and cannot wait to try them. I think I will try this one this weekend. I grew up in the Bahamas so I love the flavorful spicy dishes. Thanks for sharing these recipes.

    Thank you, Rosie! I made this for dinner, with a few minor adjustments for my picky palate and wow! This is a keeper. I will add shrimp next time because I love the combo of chicken, hot links, and shrimp! Yaaass! It reminds me of a quick gumbo. Again I thank you for this flavor explosion of a meal. This is a keeper, forever. I am considered to be a great cook, but I recognize the same in you. Go, my young Sister, so proud of you!

    Hey Rosie,

    I never leave comments on recipes that I try but this was amazing! I prepared everything the same except for I used 2 1/2 cups of broth and then threw everything in the crockpot and let it cook for 3hrs on high. I added shrimp the last 20 minutes. It’s amazing! The only thing I wish I add were some blue crabs that were already cleaned to add in with the shrimp. But hey it’s always a NEXT TIME! Thanks for such an amazing and flavorful recipe!
