Steps:
- Combine flour and oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it forms a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting.

- Add onions, bell peppers, okra, celery, garlic, Creole seasoning, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, 3 to 6 minutes.
- While vegetables are cooking, bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Add unopened bag of rice and boil, uncovered, until rice is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove bag from water and drain. Cut open bag, pour rice into a bowl, and fluff.
- Stir chicken, kielbasa, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth into the cooked vegetables. Cook until thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Serve gumbo over warm rice.

BAKED CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
Gumbo doesn't have to be hard! Instead of slowly cooking and stirring a roux for what seems like forever, try this alternative baked method. It's not a shortcut per se, but cooking it in the oven will save you from having to stand over the stove for hours. Serve hot with a spoonful of white rice.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Stir flour, oil, and butter together to form a paste. Transfer "roux" to the center of a large roasting pan and spread out into a rough rectangle about 1/2-inch thick, leaving enough room around the outside to place the chicken and sausage.
- Lay chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sausage pieces around the roux. Season chicken generously with salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter onion, celery, and bell pepper evenly over the chicken, sausage, and roux. Briefly stir the roux in the center, then spread it back out. Continue baking for 20 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven; remove chicken and sausage to a plate and reserve until needed. Stir vegetables and roux together in the pan, spread back out into an even layer, and bake for another 20 minutes, or until roux is as browned as you like.
- Mix chicken broth, salt, pepper, thyme, bay leaf, and cayenne in a large bowl or pitcher. Refrigerate cooking liquid until needed.
- Pour the cold cooking liquid mixture into the gumbo and whisk until well combined. Stir in tomatoes and okra. Add the sausage and chicken back in, skin-side up. Continue baking, stirring gently and occasionally, until liquid is thick and chicken is very tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Garnish with green onions.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
This recipe came to The Times in 1983 from Paul Prudhomme, the New Orleans chef who put Louisiana on the American culinary map. It is a hearty, rich Creole stew generously seasoned with black and white pepper, cayenne, paprika and filé powder, a spice made from the leaves of the sassafras tree. Filé powder is readily available in most grocery stores and online, and while it's not 100 percent necessary, it lends a distinctive, earthy quality to the dish. Mr. Prudhomme intended this to be made with chicken, but we've had excellent results using leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, too.

Steps:
- Put chicken pieces in a bowl. Blend salt, peppers, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika, granulated garlic and file powder. Rub four teaspoons of the mixture over the chicken. Set rest of spice mixture aside.
- Put the flour in a bowl and add two teaspoons of the reserved spice mixture. Blend well.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet and add the oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture to coat well, shaking off excess. Reserve the leftover flour.
- When the oil is hot and almost smoking, add the chicken pieces skin side down. Cook about two minutes on one side until golden brown. Turn and cook about three minutes on the second side until nicely browned. Do this in batches so as to not crowd the pan. Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
- Pour off all but one cup of fat from the skillet. Heat this oil over high heat until it is almost smoking and add the reserved seasoned flour. Stir rapidly and constantly with a wire whisk until the mixture is golden brown. Do not burn. This is a roux.
- Add the chopped onion, celery and green pepper to the roux and stir to blend well. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan.
- Add about half a cup of the roux mixture to the broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Continue adding the roux mixture, half a cup at a time, always stirring rapidly and constantly.
- Add the smoked sausage and stir. Cook over high heat, stirring often from the bottom, about 15 minutes.
- Add the chicken pieces, bay leaf and finely minced fresh garlic. Cook about 40 minutes, on medium-low, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the chicken pieces. Cut the meat from the bones and discard the bones. Cut the chicken into cubes or shred it and add it back to the pot. Serve with white rice or potato salad (or both) spooned into the gumbo.
CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
This is the BEST gumbo I have ever had. (No okra!) Hearty and classic. If you can't find andouille, use a good smoked sausage or kielbasa. The gravy is so rich, have lots of bread to sop it up. A friend gave me this recipe, so I don't know the origin.

Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper and Creole seasoning.
- Brown quickly.
- Brown the sausage, pour off fat and reserve meats.
- In large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in the oil over medium to high heat, stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a dark reddish-brown color, almost the color of coffee or milk chocolate.
- If you want to save time, or prefer a more New Orleans-style roux, cook it to a medium, peanut butter color, over lower heat if you're nervous about burning it.
- Add the vegetables and stir quickly.
- This cooks the vegetabels and also stops the roux from cooking further.
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes.
- Add the stock, seasonings, chicken and sausage.
- Bring to a boil, then cook for about one hour, skimming fat off the top as needed.
- Add the chopped scallion tops and parsley, and heat for 5 minutes.
- Serve over rice in large shallow bowls.
- Accompany with a good beer and lots of hot crispy French bread.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot partially with lightly salted water, and place the chicken in the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the chicken until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the broth, and crack open the carcass to allow the chicken to cool. Reserve the chicken broth. After the chicken has cooled enough to handle, pick the meat from the bones, and set aside.
- While the chicken is simmering, make a roux by whisking together the flour and vegetable oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir the mixture, watching constantly to avoid burning, until the roux is a rich chocolate brown color, 20 to 30 minutes.
- As soon as the roux has reached the desired color, stir in the onions, bell peppers, celery, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaves, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Pour in the reserved chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and beef sausage, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened, about 1 hour.
- Mix in the reserved chicken meat and okra, bring back to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the flavors have blended, 30 to 40 minutes.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO
This is my husbands recipe for chicken and sausage gumbo, our 5 daughters will always come for a visit when he makes this, it comes out perfect every time. Secret is in the seasoning, he claims you have to "hammer" it with Tony's, I can't watch him add the seasoning because I thinks he's ruined it, but it comes out just right. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
- slice sausage into thin rounds (we like to cut it thin, gives the illusion of more sausage).
- put sausage into large pot and begin to brown on med-high heat to render the juices from the sausage, cook about 10 minutes.
- add chicken and 2 diced onions and continue to brown for about 15 minutes. You really don't have to get it really brown, just get the pink out of the chicken.
- while its cooking, add quite a lot of Tony's, I'd have to say about 2-3 tablespoons.
- Add water and bring to boil over med-high heat (takes awhile) when it starts to boil, add the whole jar of roux and continue cooking on a slow boil for at least an hour.
- Season with more Tony's until you get the flavor you want.
- When serving, add chopped green onions and serve over hot fluffy rice.
- We add file to our individual servings. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables in your gumbo. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include celery, onions, bell peppers, and okra.
