Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Cook Rice according to package directions.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat Oil from the Gumbo Base over medium-high heat. Whisk in Flour from the Gumbo Base and cook, stirring constantly, until a dark roux forms (about 20-30 minutes).
Add Onion, Celery, and Bell pepper from the Vegetables to the roux and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Garlic from the Vegetables and cook for 1 minute more.
Add Chicken from the Chicken and cook until browned.
Add Andouille sausage from the Sausage and cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in Chicken broth from the Broth & Seasoning, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Stir in Cajun seasoning, Cayenne pepper, Thyme, Black pepper, and Salt from the Broth & Seasoning.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 60 minutes, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot over cooked Rice.
