Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, add a little oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add sliced sausage and cook until browned. Then add bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, okra, bay leaves, thyme, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the browned chicken back to the pot.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and flavors are well combined.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    While the gumbo simmers, cook the rice according to package instructions.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the gumbo is ready, serve it over a scoop of rice. Garnish with chopped green onions.
