Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage and Chicken

    Add the sliced Andouille sausage and chicken thighs to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned and the sausage is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Gumbo

    Add the sliced okra to the pot. Allow the gumbo to simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld.

  6. 6

    Add Shrimp

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with rice or crusty bread.
