Rub generous amount of the Cajun-Creole seasoning on the chicken pieces and let stand outside for at least 30 minutes.

In a large frying pan, heat oil until very hot.

Fry the chicken pieces in batches, until the crust is brown and the meat is cooked. Drain on kitchen towels.

Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Lower heat and fry the vegetables and sausages in the frying pan with the garlic and paprika.

Add 1 teaspoon Cajun-Creole seasoning if preferred.

Return the fried chicken pieces to the pan and stir to mix with the vegetables and sausages.

Add the chicken broth and simmer until gravy is thick and reduced.

Serve with rice or dinner rolls.
