For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the stew. Serve with a side of fluffy white rice or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious broth. Feel free to adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your liking. Start with a smaller amount and add more as needed. If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes, regular crushed tomatoes will work just fine.

01
StepIn a 4-quart Dutch oven or large pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 4-6 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels, reserving bacon fat in the pot.

StepSeason chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pot and brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes total. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
03
StepAdd onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot and cook in the rendered bacon fat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
