CREOLE CHICKEN GOMBO RECIPE

INGREDIENTS :

2 tablespoons canola oil

4 chicken legs

¼ cup chopped onion

¼ pound gluten-free andouille sausage cut in ¼-inch slices

1 rib celery, finely sliced

1 small green pepper, finely chopped

½ cup petite diced tomatoes, including juice

2 garlic cloves, smashed

3 cups gluten-free, low-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon tomato paste

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried

1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil or ½ teaspoon dried

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 can (12 ounces) okra, okra pieces halved, drained

1 teaspoon file powder

2 tablespoons cold water

1 cup cooked, diced dark meat chicken

4 ounces fresh or canned crab meat

2 cups hot cooked white rice

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

DIRECTIONS :

1. In a Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add chicken in one part of skillet and put onion, sausage, celery and green pepper in separate area of skillet. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides. Stir vegetables and sausage occasionally so they brown on all sides, transferring to plate if they finish browning before chicken. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, paprika, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper (and return browned vegetables to skillet, if removed). Gradually bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer gently, uncovered, 15 minutes.

2. Add okra to pot and continue to simmer 5 minutes more. In a small bowl, blend file powder and cold water. Add to soup and stir briskly. Add chicken and crab meat and heat to serving temperature over medium heat, but do not boil. Serve piping hot over hot cooked rice, garnished with parsley.

Let me remind all of you that this a gluten free recipe. Follow the step by step directions very carefully and you will be surprised how good this chicken gumbo recipe really is. Lots of fun preparing this Chicken Recipe. Enjoy the chicken and bon apetit.
