  • 1/2 teaspoon oil
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 pound smoked sausage
  • 1 package of Camellia Brand Gumbo Cajun Roux Base
  • 7 cups cool water
  • Cooked rice

Directions:

  1. In a medium pot, add ½ teaspoon oil.
  2. Cook 1 pound chicken and 1 pound sausage (cut into bite-size pieces) over medium heat until browned.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk Gumbo Cajun Roux Base into 7 cups cool water until combined.

  5. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 40 to 50 minutes (or until desired consistency is reached), stirring occasionally.

Optional:

  • Use peeled shrimp or crawfish to make a seafood gumbo. Add seafood in last 15 minutes to prevent overcooking.
