Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed chicken broth

1 (10 ounce) can okra, drained

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

 

Cook the chicken and sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and sausage and cook until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Sauté the vegetables: Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Make the gumbo: Stir in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, condensed chicken broth, okra, Cajun seasoning, thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken and sausage are cooked through and the flavors have blended.

Serve: Serve the gumbo hot with rice or crusty bread.

Tips:

 

You can use any type of sausage you like for this recipe.

For a spicier gumbo, add more cayenne pepper.

Serve the gumbo with your favorite toppings, such as green onions, chopped parsley, or a dollop of sour cream.

 

Enjoy!
