Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced andouille sausage. Cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, okra, bay leaves, and the browned chicken thighs. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes.

  5. 5

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the gumbo and adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning if desired. Remove bay leaves before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the gumbo over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
