How to Make Chicken And Smoked Sausage Gumbo
- In a large cast iron or enameled Dutch oven, heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for 20-25 minutes until a dark brown roux forms (the color of chocolate).
- Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped). Stir for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Add 1 lb smoked sausage (sliced), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 2 bay leaves. Stir for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in 6 cups chicken broth, stirring until the roux is fully incorporated.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
- Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp Creole seasoning. Add to the pot.
- Continue to simmer for 2 hours, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 green onions (chopped), and 2 tbsp file powder.
- Remove bay leaves before serving. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
