How to Make Crock Pot Chicken And Sausage Gumbo

  1. **Make the Roux:** In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir constantly for 15-20 minutes, or until the roux is a dark, reddish-brown color. (Patience is key here! The color will deepen significantly in the last few minutes.)
  4. Remove from heat and let the roux cool completely.
  5. Pour 6 cups of water into your slow cooker.
  6. Whisk in the cooled roux until smooth.
  7. Add 1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced; 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces; 1 cup sliced okra; 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 green bell pepper, chopped; 2 stalks celery, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  8. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  9. Skim off any excess fat from the surface.
  10. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
