Transfer chicken to a plate. Add the sausage to the same pot and saute for about 6 minutes until browned. Transfer to the plate along with the chicken.
2. 2Add another 1 Tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add the onion and garlic and saute for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add celery, green & red peppers to the same pot and saute for 5-7 minutes longer. Add the tomato, tomato paste, and the herbs (1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp oregano, 3 bay leaves, and about 2 tsp salt & 1 tsp black pepper). Mix well and cook until all the vegetables and herbs are incorporated.
