Step 1
Season the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with 1 tbsp Creole seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Slice the 12 oz sausage into rounds and add to the same skillet. Cook over medium until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Step 3
Add the 1 cup rice to the skillet and stir for 1 minute. Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and 1 tbsp Creole seasoning. Scrape up any browned bits.
Step 4
Stir in the 15 oz red beans (drained and rinsed). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
Step 5
Fluff the rice and beans with a fork. Slice the chicken and arrange over the rice with the sausage.
Step 6
Top with the 1 avocado (diced) and drizzle with the 0.5 cup green salsa. Serve warm.
