Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery (the 'holy trinity' of Cajun cooking) and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meats

    Add the sliced Andouille sausage to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the chicken thighs and cook until slightly browned on the outside.

  3. 3

    Add the Flavor

    Stir in the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and sliced okra. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir back into the gumbo. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
