Diet-Friendly Chicken And Sausage Gumbo image

This is a very hot and spicy gumbo, but a healthier version. It takes time, patience, love, and devotion. My husband and dad love this dish and will eat it for days, with no complaints of having leftovers. They savor every drop... they are so funny. Serve each portion over 1/2 cup cooked white rice.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf, crumbled
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped green bell pepper
3 tablespoons gumbo file powder (such as Zatarain's®)
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 ½ cups seasoned tomato sauce
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 pound turkey kielbasa, sliced and cut into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Combine cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf in a small bowl for the seasoning mix. Set aside.
  • Combine 3/4 cup chicken broth with onions, celery, and green pepper in a heavy 4-quart soup pot. Cook over medium- to medium-high heat until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high. Stir in the seasoning mix, file powder, hot sauce, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant and vegetables are well coated, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in tomato sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Mixture will begin to smoke and stick to the bottom of the pan; just keep stirring. Add remaining broth and bring to a boil. Add chicken and kielbasa. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld, 45 to 60 minutes.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I'll be sure to reduce the amount of cayenne pepper next time.

This gumbo was easy to make and turned out great! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of gumbo, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so delicious and flavorful. I especially loved the crispy okra.

This gumbo is the best I've ever had. The chicken and sausage are cooked to perfection and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This gumbo was a disaster. The chicken was undercooked and the sauce was too salty. I had to throw it all away.

I'm not a fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this gumbo. The okra was cooked perfectly and it didn't have a slimy texture.

This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good. I'll try thinning it out with some chicken broth next time.
