It’s exploding with incredible flavor! A curated blend of spices take this recipe to the next level. The intense flavors in this dish are totally irresistible. Can’t make it to New Orleans for a bowl of gumbo anytime soon? This version has all the flavor you expect from the traditional, and it’s made in the comfort of your own home. You should be able to easily find all the ingredients at your grocery store, too. No hunting and searching for filé or anything like that. The entire meal comes together in just one pot! Make the roux, cook the veggies, then simmer everything before adding in the chicken. The last step is simply leaving the gumbo to cook for an hour, allowing the flavors to develop and making it that much more delicious!
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Be patient with your roux! The first step requires cooking vegetable oil and flour until dark brown. You’ll need to whisk the mixture constantly to avoid burning and exercise patience while waiting for it to brown. Serve your chicken and sausage gumbo however you’d like! Traditional gumbo is served with rice, which soaks up the sauce and is insanely delicious. For a low-carb alternative, use steamed cauliflower rice instead.
