- 1. One day ahead: put chicken in large pot, add water to cover, poach over low-medium heat (simmer) for 2 hours; reserve broth.
- 2. Cool chicken; remove from pot and shred chicken meat by hand, removing all bones and cartilage (skin may be included or discarded according to taste).
- 3. Thinly slice sausage.
- 4. Melt butter in large stew pot, add flour, cook over medium-high heat stirring constantly until dark brown (this is a roux, the base for gumbo and many sauces).
- 5. Add all the chopped (bite-sized) vegetables to the pan and continue cooking at medium heat, stirring regularly, until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- 6. Add cajun spices and garlic and stir briefly, then add reserved chicken stock, about 64 ounzes. NOTE: Canned stock may be substituted, as well as any boneless cooked chicken meat, at least 2 pounds, even leftovers - but prepping your own ahead is easy enough!)
- 7. Bring to a boil; add chicken meat and sausage, turn heat to low and simmer for at least 2 hours, up to 4-5 hours, it just gets better the longer it simmers.
- 8. Steam 8 servings of rice about 30 minutes before serving.
- 9. Serve in large bowls, place 1/2 cup or so of rice (i.e., one serving) in bottom of each bowl first, then ladle Gumbo generously on top. Serve with French Bread.
