Crockpot Chicken Gumbo Recipe

olive oil

chicken thighs

onion,

rosemary

chicken broth

sausage

green bell peppers

brown rice

sage

garlic,

dry thyme

salt

Tabasco

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the insert of a large slow cooker.

Hand crush tomatoes into the slow cooker and add any remaining liquid from the can. Add onion, rosemary, broth, sausage, okra, celery, peppers, rice, sage, garlic, thyme and salt in the insert of the slow cooker.

Turn to low heat for 8 hours or 4 hours on high. Allow the gumbo to cook, covered and undisturbed until the timer goes off. Remove rosemary sprig and stir in gumbo file. Ladle into bowls and serve with Tabasco.

I made this for my family. It was very bitter. It did not have enough, salt, fat or any sweetness. Too much rosemary, sage and thyme I think. Disappointing for the amount of time spent preparing. 

Made with green beans, and it was amazing! 
Cooked in my insta pot for 18 minutes!
I did not use any okra file or cornstarch, it was still tasty. Plenty leftover for the next day. 

This looks amazing! Making it soon. Could I use a rotisserie chicken instead and would I add that at the end? Also could I just add creole seasoning instead of the individual spices?

Sooooo simple and so good. I used the slow cooker on my instant pot so I could brown the chicken there and not dirty another pan.  I dumped some of the broth in first so I could deglaze the bottom before putting everything else in.   I also added 2 tsp of no salt Cajun seasoning.

LOVE this one and will be putting it into my meal rotation. Thanks!

Nice recipe. I like it. Haters gonna hate. Keep up the good work.

1st time making chicken gumbo turn out great. Will make again, maybe tomorrow

Aside from the obvious ingredients that no self respecting native would add or omit from a gumbo (no shrimp, chicken breasts instead of thighs, corn?! etc and the smirky wink in your response to a previous commenter) if one will be freezing this soup they should be made aware that ingredients such as celery and will become very grainy and disintegrate upon thawing leaving diners with a gritty, sandy tasteless mess.

I think this would be a great soup to freeze.

Enjoy a rich, flavorful single serving Chicken Gumbo. This easy recipe brings authentic New Orleans taste with a perfect blend of vegetables, sausage, and chicken.

Chicken Gumbo For One

celery ((about 1 celery rib))

creole seasoning

garlic (-minced)

Make the Roux: Heat a 2-quart pot over medium heat and add the oil. Let the oil heat for about 5 minutes, then add the flour. Stir the oil and flour together to form a roux. Continue stirring for 10-15 minutes until the roux is the color of a penny or caramel.

Cook the Vegetables: Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, sausage, and Creole seasoning to the roux. Stir to blend everything together and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.

Add the Broth and Seasonings: Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Season with thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the Chicken: Stir in the cooked chicken. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for an additional 10 minutes.

Serve the gumbo on its own or over white rice and enjoy!

It is delightful to find that yummy gumbo can be made from proteins other than seafood. I used Andouille sausage and added okra, just because I had some on hand. Delicious meal!

Hearty Chicken Gumbo over rice is the ultimate Mardi Gras dinner. This chicken and sausage stew is so delicious, though, you&#039;ll want to make the easy gumbo recipe all year long.

sausages

boneless, skinless, chicken breasts

onion (chopped (1 cup))

green bell pepper (stem removed, seeded and chopped (1/2 cup))

celery rib (chopped (1/2 cup))

chicken broth ((see note 2))

garlic (minced)

Creole seasoning ((see note 3))

dried thyme ((or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme))

hot sauce (to taste (see note 4))

green onions (chopped (white and green parts))

rice (hot, for serving)

In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown sausage, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve drippings in pan.

Add chicken breast to Dutch oven, and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Add the oil and flour to the drippings, whisk together to combine, and continue to cook roux over medium heat until dark brown, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add onion, bell peppers, and celery. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add broth and stir until blended.

Add chicken, garlic, Creole seasoning, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, chicken is fork-tender, about 1 hour.

Return sausage to pan, and cook until sausage is thoroughly cooked, about 30 minutes.

Remove chicken and bay leaves. Cut chicken into strips and return to gumbo. Season gumbo to taste with salt and additional hot sauce, as desired. Add green onions, and parsley. Serve over hot cooked rice.

I added a bit of Gumbo Filé  to thicken mine.  Love Andouille sausage.  For a bit less spice, simmer the sausage in some water first for a little bit.  Add the hot sauce to taste upon serving.  Yum.

Chicken Gumbo - Culinary Hill.mp4

My New Orleans chicken and sausage gumbo is simmered for an hour developing an irresistible aroma and deep flavors.

New Orleans Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

chicken drumettes

lb. boneless (skinless chicken thighs)

Savory Cajun seasoning

garlic powder

yellow onion (chopped medium)

bell pepper (chopped medium)

celery (chopped medium)

garlic (chopped fine)

cayenne

unsalted chicken stock

beef smoked sausage (sliced)

green onions (sliced)

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ½ cups of oil. Once the oil is hot, add chicken wings and fry in batches for about 3 minutes, rotating halfway until golden brown.

Add chicken thighs and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the chicken from sticking. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Your oil should have changed to a golden hue.

Add the remaining ¼ cups of oil and bring it to a smoke point. You will see a faint white smoke coming off the oil. (A thicker smoke will burn the flour.) Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes before placing back over medium heat.

Add flour and whisk until the roux turns a dark chocolate brown like a candy bar. If the roux is browning too fast, remove it from the heat while stirring constantly, reduce the heat to medium-low, and place the pot over the heat until the desired color is achieved. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. You can add okra here if you want.

Add onion, bell pepper and celery, stir to coat the vegetables with the roux, and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic, bay leaves, thyme, garlic powder, remaining Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper and kosher salt.

Turn the heat up to medium-high heat, and add 4 cups of chicken stock in thirds, preventing any clumps from forming. Add the rest of the stock, chicken wings, thighs, smoked sausage, and worcestershire.

Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to help it reach a rolling boil. Once it boils, skim off the raft and cook for 5 minutes on a rolling boil. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for one hour uncovered. The gumbo should have reduced and thickened slightly.

Taste the gumbo and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the gumbo with hot, cooked rice and garnish with green onions.

I visited New Orleans once and ordered gumbo. This recipe tastes exactly like the gumbo I ordered there. This is a true authentic gumbo, and I'm impressed! I agree, the chocolate colored roux is key for the flavor. 10/10 for this. I will be keeping and sharing this recipe for sure.

a suggestion for the recipe layout, if you don't mind. I'm experienced enough to follow this recipe as is, so this is a perspective for non-experienced cooks- for one, the video at the top is for Seafood File Gumbo- I only mention this because following the video is referenced throughout the blog. Then, from step 3 to 4- it could be confusing to not place the roux back onto heat in step 4 to continue cooking. I know to place it back on the heat, and it's obvious it should be, but for someone new to roux, it may not be obvious for them.

great recipe! great build! great flavor! again 10/10!

I purchased your Southern Creole Cookbook a while back and this is the only way I make my Chicken and Sausage gumbo. It’s the bomb!! I make this once a month until like spring time then it’s too damn hot for gumbo. My kids and my husband love this. I never feel right even taking credit for it when my in laws and friends rant and rave. However, my husband says, “nah bae you put it together though.” So I guess he’s right.

Even without okra, this gumbo looks amazing. Thank you!

This Chicken Gumbo Recipe is rich, hearty, and packed with classic Cajun flavor! The tender chicken, sausage, and a flavorful roux makes this the perfect Southern comfort meal that everyone will love.
