Let's make it!

This recipe is great for anyone out there who hasn’t made gumbo from scratch before.

1

In a large Dutch oven set over medium heat, melt the butter. Gradually whisk in the flour, continuing to whisk constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.

2

Cook for 15-20 minutes until the roux reaches a light chocolate brown color, indicating it is ready for the next step.

3

Due to the roux’s heat and potential splatter, stir in the onion, green pepper, and celery carefully. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring often. Then, add the sausage and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

4

Add the chicken broth, creole seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper and stir.

5

Add the chicken to the pot and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

6

Then, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, letting it cook for 60-80 minutes. You’ll want to see the gumbo thicken before moving on to the next step.

7

Remove the chicken breasts, and shred them into bite size pieces with 2 forks.

8

Return the chicken to the pot and stir. Serve immediately with cooked white rice and sliced green onions.
