South Louisiana Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (No Okra!) image

Growing up in Louisiana, My momma called her version of this the poor mans gumbo. I have taken the liberty to make a few changes, such as using boneless-skinless chicken breasts instead of the whole chicken. Be careful with the Roux, if it burns you best start all over. It will get smoky in the kitchen, so be sure to open a few windows. This recipe takes some time but it is well worth it. If you have any left overs, this is something that is better the second day. Freezes well too.

This gumbo is delicious! I love the combination of chicken and sausage, and the roux gives it a nice rich flavor. I also like that this recipe is relatively easy to make. I will definitely be making this again.

This gumbo is amazing! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the chicken and sausage are cooked to perfection. I love that this recipe doesn't use okra, as I'm not a fan of the slimy texture. I will definitely be making this gumbo again soon.
