This is a Cajun-style gumbo made with a seasoned roux, a classic from the bayous of south Louisiana. I revised the recipe after many, many trials. Serve it hot over cooked rice or with potato salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, whisk in flour. Continue whisking until the roux has cooked to the color of chocolate milk, 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the roux. If you see black specks in the mixture, start over.
- Stir onion, bell pepper, celery, and sausage into the roux; cook 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; blend thoroughly. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken, and simmer 1 hour more. Skim off any foam that floats to the top during the last hour.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Andouille or smoked sausage are traditional choices for this recipe, but you can also use other types of sausage, such as kielbasa or chorizo. Just make sure the sausage is fully cooked before adding it to the pot.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much sausage to the pot, it will not cook evenly. Cook the sausage in batches if necessary.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the food from sticking.
- Don't boil the sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne pepper if you like it spicy, or more sugar if you like it sweet.
Conclusion:
This Cajun habanero sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The sausage is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices. Serve the sausage with rice, pasta, or potatoes, and enjoy!
