Steps

1

Finely chop onion, celery, garlic. A food processor works best for this-make it like a paste.
2

Season chicken with garlic salt, pepper, cajun spice. Brown chicken pieces in butter, olive oil. Don't cook it through. Remove from pan and set aside.
3

Cook chopped bacon for 5 minutes to render slightly, then add onion,celery, garlic.
4

Cook for 5 min to soften then add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes more. Add brown sugar.
5

Add mushrooms(sliced if you want) and cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
6

Season to your liking with pepper, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes.
7

Add in diced tomato and 1/2 to 1 cup water.
8

Add back in chicken. Stir it all together.
9

If to thick, add a little more water.
10

Cook over low to medium low heat until chicken is cooked through and soft. About 45 - 60 minutes. It should be like a saucy stew.
11

Serve over rice or egg noodles. Add Tabasco or Texas Pete if you like it spicier. This makes great leftovers too!
