Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced chicken. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside with sausage.
Add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in chopped cabbage and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.
Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well.
Return sausage and chicken to the skillet. Mix thoroughly.
Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and flavors are blended.
Taste and adjust salt or spice level as needed.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes

Do not overcook cabbage; it should remain slightly tender.
