Chicken & Sausage Gumbo Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Roux

   In a large heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture turns a medium dark brown, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   Add the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Meats

   Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and chopped chicken thighs. Cook until the chicken is browned, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Simmer the Gumbo

   Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes. Add bay leaves, thyme, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
