How to Make Simple Chicken And Sausage Gumbo

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Add the onion, celery, and green bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux. Cook until the roux is a light brown color (avoid burning).
  6. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
  7. Return the chicken and sausage to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  8. Stir in the okra and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over rice.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
