Ingredients
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Vegetable Oil
- ½ Green Bell Pepper chopped
- ½ Yellow Onion chopped
- 2 stalks Celery chopped
- 1 Rotisserie Chicken deboned
- 1 lb Smoked Sausage
- 32 oz Swanson Unsalted Chicken Stock
- ½ tbsp Frontier Cajun Seasoning
- 2 cups Water
- 1 Bay Leaf
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder

- 5 oz Frozen Pictsweet Seasoning Blend defrosted
- ½ jar RICHARD’S Cajun Style Roux optional alternative
Optional Additions:
- 1 can Rotel
- ½ lb Tasso browned with sausage
- ½ capful Savoie’s Browning Sauce
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop all vegetables and debone the rotisserie chicken. Slice the sausage. Refrigerate until ready.
- Make the Roux: Combine flour and oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly for about 1 hour until it reaches a milk-chocolate color. For a darker roux, cook slightly longer.
- Cook Vegetables: Add bell pepper, onion, and celery to the roux. Cook for 10 minutes until softened.
- Brown Sausage: In a separate pan, cook the sausage until lightly browned. Add chicken stock to loosen any drippings. Combine sausage with the roux and vegetables.
- Add Stock and Spices: Pour in the remaining chicken stock. Add Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and bay leaves. Let simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- Add Water: Stir in 2 cups of water. Bring gumbo to a gentle boil and skim excess oil from the surface.
- Add Chicken: Stir in the deboned rotisserie chicken. Cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve: Remove bay leaves and serve hot over cooked white rice.
Notes
Use Richard’s Cajun Style Roux for a shortcut.
Skim the oil for a lighter gumbo, or leave it for richer flavor.
The recipe is forgiving – adjust Cajun seasoning according to taste.
