Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Gumbo Recipes

Time 6h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups water
¾ pound smoked sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 ½ cups cubed cooked chicken
2 cups sliced okra
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour to form a thick paste until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the flour turns a dark reddish-brown roux, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Pour water into a slow cooker.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality stock. The stock is the base of the gumbo, so it's important to use a good one. You can use chicken stock, vegetable stock, or even seafood stock.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you're adding the vegetables and chicken to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. Otherwise, the vegetables will not cook evenly and the chicken will not brown properly.
  • Cook the roux until it is dark. The roux is what gives gumbo its characteristic flavor and color. Cook the roux until it is dark, but not burnt.
  • Add the vegetables and chicken to the pot in stages. Don't add all of the vegetables and chicken to the pot at once. Add them in stages so that they cook evenly.
  • Let the gumbo simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the gumbo over rice. Gumbo is traditionally served over rice. However, you can also serve it over pasta or noodles.

Conclusion:

Half-hour chicken gumbo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying gumbo that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give half-hour chicken gumbo a try!
