Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Add the Sausage and Chicken

    Stir in the sliced Andouille sausage and chicken thighs. Cook until the chicken is browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Reduce heat to low and let simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove bay leaves and serve the gumbo over cooked white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions.
