Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Sausage and Chicken

    Slice the Andouille sausage and add it to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then add the chicken thighs. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Spices and Broth

    Add the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, okra, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    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 and tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve over cooked rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
