1/4 cup(s) chili powder
1/4 cup(s) paprika
1/4 cup(s) garlic powder
1/4 cup(s) ground black pepper
2 tablespoon(s) onion powder
2 tablespoon(s) oregano, dried
2 tablespoon(s) parsley flakes
PIE:
2 - chicken breasts
2 - hot italian sausage links
5 tablespoon(s) butter
1 medium white onion, diced
1 tablespoon(s) minced garlic in water
2 stalk(s) celery, diced
1 - green bell pepper, diced
5 tablespoon(s) all purpose flour
1 cup(s) chicken broth
1 cup(s) 1% milk
1 medium russet potato, diced
1 large carrot, diced
1 cup(s) fresh green beans, cut and trimmed
2 tablespoon(s) hot sauce
- refrigerated pie crusts
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚. For the Cajun seasoning: In a small bowl, mix spices until thoroughly combined.
  • Thoroughly season chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning. Place chicken and sausage on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from oven, allow to cool. Dice chicken, slice sausage; reserve.
  • In a large sauté pan, melt butter. Add onions, sauté until translucent. Add garlic, celery and peppers. Sauté until vegetables are tender. Season with 3 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning.
  • Slowly sprinkle flour over onion mixture, stirring constantly until flour is fully incorporated. Cook flour mixture until it turns a light brown and it releases a nutty aroma. Whisk chicken broth and milk into flour mixture. Simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once filling has thickened, add potatoes and carrots, continue cooking for 5 minutes. Stir in green beans, hot sauce, chicken and sausage. Remove from heat.
  • Place one unrolled pie crust in a pie plate. Add filling, top with remaining unrolled crust. Crimp the edges and cut a vent in the top of the crust. Brush top with beaten egg and bake in oven for 30-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
  • Remove pie from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • TIP: The leftover Cajun seasoning can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 years.
