You will love this delicious authentic Gumbo recipe jampacked with chicken, andouille sausage, and okra in a tasty homemade chicken stock. The flavors in this dish are nothing short of incredible.

Gumbo is a Cajun and creole specialty throughout the state of Louisiana. It's a thick, stewlike dish with several ingredients such as the trinity (onions, celery, and bell peppers), okra, and meat. The most common proteins are chicken and sausage, but you can make a seafoodspecific combo. According to the recipe evangelists, you should never combine seafood with chicken.

This recipe and ingredients will be completely different depending on who makes it. There are many arguments on whether the recipe should be thickened with a roux or with gumbo file. File is a powder consisting of dried sassafras leaves. It can be a thickening agent or a flavor garnish before serving the gumbo.

I personally believe that you can extract the most flavor by using roux, gumbo, and okra. After all, one of the many definitions for Gumbo is, in fact, okra. Regardless of how you make this, it's a time labor of love, and if you follow the procedures closely, the flavors and end results are fantastic.
