Easy Slow Cooker Crockpot Gumbo

oz andouille sausage

olive oil

butter

all-purpose flour

green peppers

celery

onion

garlic

okra

14.5 oz diced tomatoes (Optional)

chicken broth

chicken breasts

shrimp

bay leaf

basil

oregano

Creole Seasoning

thyme

worcestershire sauce

cayenne pepper (Optional

salt and pepper

Add the sliced sausage to a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes on both sides. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

Add the butter and olive oil to the pan on medium heat. While it melts add the flour in 3 phases. Add the first phase and whisk. Add the second phase, and so on.

Continue to stir until the roux turns deep brown. It should turn brown within several minutes of stirring. This is the most important step of the recipe and it requires patience. If you stop stirring before it reaches deep brown, it will cake up and/or burn.

Add the green peppers, celery, and onions to the roux. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are soft.

Add all of the spices, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce to the roux and stir.

Add the roux and vegetables to the slow cooker along with the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and okra. Stir.

Place the chicken breasts and cooked sausage in the slow cooker.

Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook for 3-4 hours on High or 7-8 hours on Low.

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred.

Add the raw shrimp and shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

Cook for a few minutes until the shrimp turns bright pink.

Serve.

Crockpot Chicken Gumbo Recipe

chicken thighs

onion,

rosemary

sausage

green bell peppers

brown rice

sage

garlic,

dry thyme

salt

gumbo file

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!
