Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

2

Make the Roux

In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is a deep golden brown color, approximately 10-15 minutes.

3

Add Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4

Combine Ingredients

Return the chicken to the pot, along with the corn, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

5

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover. Let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld.

6

Serve

Remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return it to the pot, stir to combine, and serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
