3 large chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 Tbsp butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped (optional, we chose to leave out)
5-8 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 bunch flat leaf parsley, or dried is fine
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
5 beef bouillon cubes
1 14oz diced fire roasted tomatoes, with juice
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled (optional, we left out)
2 cups fresh or frozen okra, sliced
4 cups very hot water
4 green onions, sliced, white and green parts
Cooked white rice
1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy-bottom dutch oven. Cook chicken on low until browned on both sides and remove from pan. Add sausage and cook on low until browned. Remove from pan. Sprinkle flour over oil. Add 2 Tbsp butter and cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until brown, about 10 minutes. (you want to color of a copper penny) Do not let the roux burn or you will have to start over. Remove pan from heat. Let the roux cool.
2. Return the dutch oven to low heat and melt the remaining 3 Tbsp butter. Add onion and saute for 10 minutes. Add the green pepper, celery, garlic, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook stirring constantly for 10 minutes. Add 4 cups hot water, whisking constantly. Add the chicken and sausage and cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the bouillon cubes, tomatoes, shrimp, and okra. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Serve over white rice. Garnish with green onions.
