Step 1
Season the 1 lb chicken thighs with 1 tbsp Creole seasoning. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate; they will finish cooking later.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the 8 oz sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies and 1 tbsp Creole seasoning; simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through (165°F), about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Serve the chicken and sausage over the 2 cups cooked rice, spooning the sauce on top.
