MIX flour and seasonings in shallow dish. Add chicken; turn to coat both sides of each thigh. Heat oil in Dutch oven or deep large skillet on medium heat. Add 4 chicken thighs; cook 4 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to plate, reserving drippings in pan; set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.

ADD onions, green peppers and garlic to drippings in pan; cook and stir 5 min. Stir in tomatoes, barbecue sauce and sausage. Return chicken and any juices from plate to tomato mixture; simmer 25 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF), stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, bring broth to boil in medium saucepan. Stir in rice; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until broth is absorbed and rice is tender.

ADD shrimp to tomato mixture; simmer 8 min. or until shrimp are done.

SPOON rice into shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and parsley.
