request Chicken gumbo recipe

CAJUN CHICKEN GUMBO

Step 1: Make broth in large pot.
1 whole chicken, cut up plus 2 chicken breasts
3 stalks celery with leaves, cut in pieces
1 large onion, cut in pieces
2 large carrots, cut in pieces
parsley flakes, a good dash of them
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Enough water to cover everything, about 6 cups.

Cook until chicken falls off the bone. Remove chicken from pot, cool, and debone. Separate (strain) liquid to remove vegetables.  DISCARD vegetables but keep the broth (chicken stock).

Step 2: Make roux (rue).
1/2 cup vegetable oil in a skillet. Heat until it starts to smoke. Add
1-1/4 cups flour. Stir constantly until dark.  The darker it is, the more Cajun.

Step 3: Make gumbo.
1 cup chopped celery
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped okra
Bodan sausage or any smoked sausage, sliced in 1/4 to 1/2-inch circles
1 teaspoon Tony Chachere's (sash-er-ree) Original Creole Seasoning (add more later if desired)
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of Cayenne pepper (more if you like spicy)
6 hard-boiled eggs (peeled and left whole)

Stir vegetables (celery, onion, okra) in the roux and cook about 2 minutes.
Transfer roux, vegetables, deboned chicken, broth, spices, and whole eggs into the large pot. Simmer 4 to 5 hours or all day.

Serve over cooked rice.  Some eat it over potato salad or plain potato chips. Most people think it is better the second day, after seasonings have blended through it.

Note: The eggs are left whole until the person gets one in his serving.
