INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 1 cup vegetable oil
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 6 cups chicken broth

  • Meats

    • 1 pound andouille or smoked sausage, sliced ¼-inch thick
    • 🍗 1 rotisserie chicken, boned and shredded

  • Vegetables

    • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
    • 🧅 1 large onion, chopped
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 bay leaf

  • Seasonings

    • 1 pinch Creole seasoning, or to taste

STEPS

1

Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat; whisk in flour until roux is smooth and has cooked to the color of chocolate milk, about 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the roux. If you see black specks in the mixture, it's best to start over.

2

Add sausage, celery, bell pepper, and onion into the roux; cook and stir 5 minutes. Add garlic; continue to cook and stir another 5 minutes.

3

Season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning; stir well to blend. Pour in chicken broth and add bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

4

Stir in the chicken and simmer 1 hour more. Skim off any foam that floats to the top during this time.

5

Serve hot over cooked rice or with potato salad.
