Chicken and Andouille Gumbo
This chicken and andouille gumbo is about as traditional as you can get, made a little easier using a rotisserie chicken. It's the ultimate big-group comfort food. Serve over plenty of steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oil
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups onions
- 1.5 cups celery
- 1 cup green bell pepper
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 pound andouille sausage or smoked sausage
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 3 quarts chicken stock
- 1.5 green onions
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon gumbo file
- 1 teaspoon Louisiana hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat oil in a 2-gallon stockpot over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly, until golden brown roux is achieved, up to 10 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in onions, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sausage into vegetable mixture, and sauté for approximately 15 minutes. Stir in chicken.
- Add chicken stock, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cook approximately 1 hour.
- Stir in green onions and bay leaves. Season with Cajun seasoning, file, and hot sauce. Cook an additional 30 minutes, if necessary, until the chicken is tender and falling apart.
- Stir in parsley and adjust seasonings. Serve over steamed white rice; garnish with green onions.
