Steps

3-4 hours

1

Add chicken, 4 cups of water, chicken bullion cubes to a large pot. Bring to a boil for 1 minute then turn down heat to med low for 25-30 mins or until chicken is done and tender.
Note: Do not drain broth in chicken.
Remove chicken and shred after cooling.
Cover broth and set aside
2

In a small pot add frozen okra and enough water to cover it. Boil on med for 15 minutes
3

While okra is cooking start by chopping all the veggies. Set aside
Do the same process with the sausage. Set aside
4

Starting the roux:
On med low heat in a large thick heavy bottom Dutch oven,melt butter. Add flour to melted butter wisking frequently.
Note: a nice golden roux is key to this whole recipe. You want to continually stir the butter/flour mixture while it goes through a phase of changes. Also keep an eye on your temperature. Don't want the butter and flour to burn.
5

After about 20-30 mins,you can see the flour getting to the darkness preferred. The first picture I have here is the color I like for my gumbo roux.
6

Add all veggies to the roux. Mixing until the veggies are slightly tender and transparent in the onions.
7

Stir in sausage, okra,rice and can of tomatoes.
8

Add and stir all seasonings in together.
9

Add all of the broth from the chicken that was set aside into the gumbo stir until mixed completely.
Taste for salt. If it's not enough add more.
10

Add shred chicken. Stir in.
Bring to a med boil for about 1 minute.
11

Turn the heat down to a low simmer for about 20-30 mins or until desired thickness.
Serve on top of more white rice, and with some buttered cornbread on the side!
Enjoy 😊
