DIRECTIONS
this needs a huge pot to cook in
In big oiled skillet combine the shredded chicken and sausage until browned. Drain and set aside.
In the large pot combine the olive oil and flour to make a roux. Stir until it turns brownish and bubbly. Mix in garlic and cook for another minute.
Gradually stir in the beer and chicken broth into the roux.
Bring to a boil, then add in celery, tomatoes, onion, chiles, bell pepper, parsley, and seasoning.
Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for ~40min, stir every so often.
