Instructions
Mix flour and seasonings in shallow dish.
Add chicken; turn to coat both sides of each thigh.
Heat oil in Dutch oven or large deep skillet on medium heat.
Add 4 chicken thighs; cook 4 min. on each side or until each is golden brown on both sides.
Transfer to plate, reserving drippings in pan. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Add onions, green peppers and garlic to drippings in pan; cook and stir 5 min. Stir in tomatoes, barbecue sauce and sausage. Return chicken and any juices from plate to tomato mixture; simmer 25 min. or until chicken is done (165F), stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, bring broth to boil in medium saucepan. Stir in rice; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until broth is absorbed and rice is tender.
Add shrimp to tomato mixture; simmer 8 min. or until shrimp turn pink.
Spoon rice into shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and parsley.
Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc
Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try Neboan Albarino. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
Neboa Albarino
The cooler, higher elevation Condado do Tea subregion gives rise to a fresh, precise expression of Albariño in general and this particular site lends an intense mineral streak through the wine. A floral, blossomy nose with peach and apricot aromas which carry through on the palate with taut structure, complex fresh fruit, understated mid-palate weight, all on a strong backbone of mineral acidity.
