Photo: Spicy Pulled Chicken and Red Bean Stew Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 8 ounces andouille sausage, diced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 ribs celery, finely diced
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 (15-ounce) cans red beans in sauce
- 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons chopped scallions
Directions
In a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, add the oil. Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until slightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, celery, and jalapenos. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 1 to 2 minutes, then add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, to form a roux. Whisk in the stock, molasses, bay leaves and cumin. Bring to a simmer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the beans, chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is warmed through and the stew has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the stew to a large serving bowl and garnish with scallions. Serve.

Very tasty stew indeed! I cut most of the spicy ingredients by half because I have kids. I omitted the red chili flakes all togther. I used kielbosa - to cut down on spice and also used 1/2 the amt of chicken stock and molassas as some other people suggested. I also mixed in some broccoli and served it over rice with corn bread. I can't wait to make again using all of the spices when the kids are away.

Very Tasty! I also used less molasses and to kick up the heat, I used chipotle olive oil - which gave it a very nice amount of spice. I'll definitely make it again.

Not so great, I made the recipe exactly as listed. I found the soup to have to much of a sweetness instead of the savory I anticipated. The heat level was not too bad. I just found the overall flavor profile a bit off.
