Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 pound andouille or smoked sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Creole seasoning to taste
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, boned and shredded


  1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, whisk in flour. Continue whisking until the roux has cooked to the color of chocolate milk, 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the roux. If you see black specks in the mixture, start over.
  2. Stir onion, bell pepper, celery, and sausage into the roux; cook 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; blend thoroughly. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken, and simmer 1 hour more. Skim off any foam that floats to the top during the last hour.
