Diet-Friendly Chicken And Sausage Gumbo image

This is a very hot and spicy gumbo, but a healthier version. It takes time, patience, love, and devotion. My husband and dad love this dish and will eat it for days, with no complaints of having leftovers. They savor every drop... they are so funny. Serve each portion over 1/2 cup cooked white rice.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf, crumbled
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped green bell pepper
3 tablespoons gumbo file powder (such as Zatarain's®)
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 ½ cups seasoned tomato sauce
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 pound turkey kielbasa, sliced and cut into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Combine cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf in a small bowl for the seasoning mix. Set aside.
  • Combine 3/4 cup chicken broth with onions, celery, and green pepper in a heavy 4-quart soup pot. Cook over medium- to medium-high heat until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high. Stir in the seasoning mix, file powder, hot sauce, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant and vegetables are well coated, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in tomato sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Mixture will begin to smoke and stick to the bottom of the pan; just keep stirring. Add remaining broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken and kielbasa. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld, 45 to 60 minutes.

I made this gumbo for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The gumbo was creamy and delicious, and the chicken and sausage were cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This gumbo was delicious! The chicken and sausage were cooked perfectly and the roux was rich and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of okra, which gave the gumbo a nice texture. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gumbo turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. I think I might try adding some more spices next time.

This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavors were great and the chicken and sausage were cooked perfectly.

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I decided to try this gumbo anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The okra added a nice texture to the gumbo and the flavors were well-balanced. I would definitely make this again.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less cayenne pepper, or maybe add some sour cream to tone down the heat.

This gumbo was a disaster! The roux was burnt and the gumbo was too thick. I will not be making this again.
