How to Make Quick And Easy Gumbo
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.) and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional). Stir to coat the vegetables evenly and cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained. Add 1 cup of cooked chicken, shredded or diced, and 1 cup of long-grain rice. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh green onions or parsley (optional). Enjoy with a side garden salad!
