Simple Gumbo

1. 1

   Before you do anything, start cooking the rice according to package instructions (but use 2 cups of chicken broth for the liquid).

2. 2

   In the meantime you need to make a roux.

3. 3

   Use the 1/4 cup of oil and some flour to make it.

4. 4

   You want it to get nice and brown during the cooking process.

5. 5

   Id start with ten minutes on medium low heat and go from there.

6. 6

   Once thats done, add 2 -1/2 cups of chicken stock.

7. 7

   Cover it and keep it warm.

8. 8

   While the rice finishes, saute some andouille sausage in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, just long enough for it to brown up and crisp around the edges slightly.

9. 9

   Remove that from your Dutch oven and then cook two chicken breasts that youve cut into pieces.

10. 10

    Once thats nice and brown, remove it and add in 1 diced onion, 1 diced celery stalk, 1/2 of a diced red bell pepper, and 1/2 of a diced green pepper.

11. 11

    Let that cook a little (about 5 minutes), and then add back the sausage and chicken.

12. 12

    Give it a stir and then add your roux/stock mixture, and a dash of salt and a lot of freshly ground pepper.

13. 13

    Let it all cook together for 5 minutes and then serve a spoonful of it over the rice!
