How to Make Chicken Sausage And Shrimp Gumbo

  1. Boil chicken breasts for 2 hours. Reserve the stock, then debone and shred the chicken.
  2. Cut smoked sausage into 1/2-inch slices.
  3. In a large (2-gallon) stockpot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
  4. Gradually whisk in flour, cooking constantly until a deep golden-brown roux forms (about 15-20 minutes). Do not burn. Discard and start again if black specks appear.
  5. Add chopped onions, celery, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  6. Add shredded chicken and sausage to the pot, stirring well to combine with the vegetables. Sauté for 15 minutes.
  7. Gradually add chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until fully incorporated.
  8. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
  9. Add sliced mushrooms, green onions, bay leaves, thyme, and basil.
  10. Season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce to taste.
  11. Continue to simmer for 1-2 hours, or until chicken is tender and falling apart.
  12. Stir in chopped parsley and shrimp.
  13. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  14. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  15. Serve hot over steamed white rice. Pass additional Tabasco at the table.
