CHICKEN ETOUFFEE
This isn't a true etouffee like the shrimp or crawfish you'll see at a restaurant. Which is probably why I and my family like it so much.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
- Heat 1/4 cup butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Dredge chicken cubes in seasoned flour and fry in the hot butter and oil until golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken, leaving butter mixture in skillet. Reduce heat to low.
- Stir 1 tablespoon leftover seasoned flour into pan drippings in skillet; cook and stir until the mixture forms a paste and cooks to the color of dark caramel, 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully and stir constantly to avoid burning. Add bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, and 2 more tablespoons butter to flour paste and toss to coat vegetables with butter and browned flour mixture. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in enough water to cover vegetables, add bay leaves, and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to skillet and cook until flavors are blended, about 10 more minutes. Serve with cooked rice.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot set over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly to make a light-to-medium brown roux (about the color of peanut butter or a little lighter). Immediately add the chopped onion, bell pepper and celery. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, three peppers, salt and paprika; cook 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and stir to mix. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often.
- Transfer the contents of the pot to the slow cooker and add the cubed chicken. Stir to mix, cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours. Stir in the sliced green onions and chopped parsley, adjust seasonings and cook, covered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Serve over rice.

Steps:
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and dust them with some of the flour.
- Place the oil in a large, heavy-gauge stockpot and bring it to the smoking point over high heat. Add the chicken, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the pieces are brown on one side. Turn the pieces and repeat on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pot.
- Return the oil to the smoking point, add the onions, peppers, and garlic to the pot, and stir. Cover and let cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the vegetables burn. Add the remaining flour and saute for 5 minutes, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot with a wooden spoon. Be careful not to burn the mixture, but allow it to turn dark brown, take on a nutty aroma, and dry out. Add the thyme and sage, adjust the salt and pepper, and gradually add the water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps and burning. When everything is well mixed, return the chicken to the pot, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer.
- Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and almost falling off the bones. Stir occasionally. Remove the chicken and adjust the sauce consistency to your liking by either reducing or adding a bit of water. Skim off any excess fat, if needed. Adjust seasoning with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Serve with boiled rice.
