Here is the recipe for gumbo.. I don't really follow measurements too well.. I am not that kind of cook.
1 lb chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
some flour (like maybe 1/4 cup, not a whole lot)
some seasoning (either creole, blackened.. something similar)
little oil
1 bag of frozen veggies (the vegetable gumbo package- I get the generic cause that's all I can find)
1 32oz chicken broth
1 can of chopped tomatoes (pick your hotness level)
cut chicken into bite sized pieces. put in sealable bag with flour and seasoning to coat. heat oil and put in chicken (and any leftover flour/seasoning mix). let cook for 3 to 4 minutes. (you aren't deep frying, just cooking the chicken.) add broth, veggies, and tomatoes. bring to boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with rice (optional)
tonight I added andoille (sp?) sausage. Our grocery store was out of the gumbo veggies, so I picked up a small bags of okra, corn and onion/red and green bell pepper mixture.
that's it!
