Ingredients
- 1 (2-3) pound chicken whole
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium onion diced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 2 bell pepper deseeded and diced
- 2 cups okra sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound smoked sausage cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 cup smoked ham diced
- 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes , with juices
- 1 (14-ounce) can tomatoes with juices, diced
- 1 (14-ounce) can peppers with juices, diced
- 1 (10-ounce) can Navy beans
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled, deveined, and cleaned, raw, small
- 4 cups white rice optional, cooked
Instructions
- Place chicken into a large Dutch oven. Cover with water plus about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for about 2 hours. Remove chicken from water and set-aside to cool. Add butter, onion, celery, bell pepper, okra, and garlic to chicken stock.
- Pull chicken from the bone and add back to the stock. Add in Polish sausage, and ham. Cook for about 10 minutes to allow all the juices to incorporate.
- Pour in diced tomatoes and diced tomatoes with peppers. Smash Navy beans with a fork while in the can and then pour into the Gumbo along with Ole Bay seasoning and bay leaves.
- Bring Gumbo to a boil and stir in additional chicken stock. Cook for 10-15 minutes and then stir in shrimp. Cook until shrimp has turned pink, about 5 more minutes.
- Remove bay leaves from the Gumbo and the Dutch oven from the heat. Serve Gubmo over rice (optional) or by itself.
Notes
- Alternately, you may use a rotisserie chicken rather than cooking a whole chicken, if desired. If doing so, I recommend the following changes to recipe: Heat Dutch oven over medium heat. Melt butter and add onion, celery, bell pepper, okra and garlic. Saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Continue with remaining steps of the original recipe and add 4 cups of chicken stock to Gumbo when recipe calls for 2 cups. Using rotisserie chicken will reduce cooking time by 2 hours.
