Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and  sausage and cook and stir until the onion starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Mix in tomato, green bell peppers, zucchinis, Spices, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, and chicken broth; bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook uncovered until the liquid cooks off and the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. Stir in chicken and bacon and simmer very low for about 10 minutes to let the flavors combine.
 Note:  the only carbs is from the veggies, you can also add some black beans to it if your diet can handle the added carbs.  The Bell Peppers are the main source for any carbs in the dish.
