Step-by-Step Instructions
Finely chop onion, bell peppers, and celery. Mince garlic and slice green onions. Season chicken thighs with Cajun seasoning.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Lower heat and melt unsalted butter in the skillet. Whisk in all-purpose flour gradually and stir for 10-15 minutes until medium-brown in color.
Add chopped onion, bell peppers, and celery to the roux. Sauté for about 10 minutes until soft, then mix in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Gradually pour in warmed chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Bring to a simmer and return seared chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken, chop into bite-sized pieces, return to pot, and stir in chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve Chicken Étouffée over fluffy white rice, garnished with green onions and parsley.
