Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Chicken and Sausage

    Add the chicken thighs and sliced Andouille sausage to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Stir in the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and okra. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot garnished with sliced green onions.
