Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz andouille sausage (sliced into pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped green peppers
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped onion (white onion)

Instructions

  1. Add the sliced sausage to a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes on both sides. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

  8. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it.
