This is a super quick and tasty Spicy Creole Chili recipe inspired by the time I spent living in Louisiana. It differs from the usual chili because it uses a mix of chicken and sausage meat. I use andouille sausage which is coarse-grained and smoked. It’s typically associated with Louisiana Creole cuisine. I simply cook the sausage meat and chicken and I add onion, green bell pepper, tomatoes, black beans, chili powder and other spices to make a spicy chili with a difference.
I like my chili to be hot so in addition to the 2 teaspoons of chili powder in the recipe, I add a few extra dashes of hot sauce. But that’s not to everyone’s taste so it’s best to suit yourself. This is a great midweek meal as it’s super quick and easy to make.
To make Spicy Creole Chili, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat the oil a large pot over a medium-high heat.
Place the ground chicken, sausage and 1 teaspoon of the chili powder in the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.
Remove the cooked meat from the pot and set to one side.
Fry the onion, pepper and garlic for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the cumin, paprika, salt and remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder. Cook these for 1-2 minutes until the spices release their fragrance.
Add the cooked meat to saucepan and add the crushed tomatoes, beans and undrained tomatoes. Combine well.
Once the chili has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
This chili is great served with sour cream and chopped parsley.
