Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 chicken thighs
2 medium onions, sliced
2 red or green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and cut into strips
2 ribs celery, chopped
10 ounces fresh or frozen okra, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
10 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 to 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 scallions (whit and green parts), thinly sliced
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and much of the fat is rendered. Remove the sausage to plate with a slotted spoon.
  • While the sausage browns, pour a good amount of flour into a shallow baking dish, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken with the flour and add to the Dutch oven, in batches if necessary, and cook until brown on both sides. Remove to the plate with the sausage.
  • Add the 1/2 cup flour to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown. Add the onions, peppers, and celery to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Stir in the okra and the garlic and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes.
  • Strip the leaves from the thyme into the Dutch oven, and stir in the bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and 6 cups broth. Crush the tomatoes through your hands into the pot. Return the chicken and sausage to the pot, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in some additional chicken stock to thin the sauce a bit, if desired.
  • Stir in the vinegar, scallions, and parsley, taste, and adjust the seasoning.

STEWED CHICKEN WITH ANDOUILLE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds), trimmed
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 link andouille sausage (about 3 ounces), chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 10-ounce package frozen whole baby okra, thawed
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken thigh into quarters (or 1 1/2-inch pieces, if large). Pat dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed until browned, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown all over, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Stir in the broth and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the okra and cook, covered, until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the gumbo will be. Choose fresh vegetables, flavorful smoked sausage, and a good-quality chicken stock.
  • Don't skimp on the roux: The roux is the base of the gumbo and what gives it its rich, dark color. Cook the roux slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a chocolate-brown color.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: Add the vegetables in stages, starting with the hardest vegetables (such as carrots and celery) and ending with the softest vegetables (such as tomatoes and okra). This will ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the gumbo will be too thick. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Season to taste: Season the gumbo to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the gumbo with rice: Gumbo is traditionally served with rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even dirty rice.

Conclusion:

Chicken and Andouille Smoked Sausage Gumbo is a delicious and hearty stew that is perfect for a cold night. It is made with a rich, flavorful roux, tender chicken, smoky andouille sausage, and a variety of fresh vegetables. Gumbo is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. You can add more vegetables, different types of meat, or even seafood. No matter how you make it, gumbo is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
