Bayou Country Chicken Stew image

Growing up, this chicken stew was a regular Sunday dinner, which was always served in the dining room. Sundays were always very special because it was the only day of the week that the whole family sat together for the noon day meal and shared our stories of the previous week.

I would make this stew again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less okra, more sausage, and I would add some other vegetables like carrots and celery.

Overall, I thought this stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The stew was too thick for my liking. I added some water and it was perfect.

I thought the stew was a little bland. I added some extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder and it was much better.

This stew is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably tone down the cayenne pepper next time.
