Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Dice the chicken thighs and slice the sausage. Prepare the vegetables by dicing the onion, bell pepper, and celery, and mincing the garlic.

2

Cook the Chicken and Sausage

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sausage, cooking until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

4

Add the Liquids and Spices

Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

5

Combine and Simmer

Return the cooked chicken and sausage to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Add Okra (if using)

If using okra, add it to the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

7

Serve

Remove bay leaves. Serve the gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
