INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 1/4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup diced andouille sausage
1 medium sweet onion
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 rib celery, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup orzo pasta
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS:
1. Season chicken with 1 1/4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
2. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the Dutch oven in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside.
3. Add sausage, onion, bell pepper and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in tomato paste, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
6. Stir in chicken stock and diced tomatoes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in orzo; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
7. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Return chicken to the Dutch oven.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and parsley, if desired.
