Ingredients

1 ½ pounds andouille sausage, sliced
4 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
½ cup canola oil
¾ cup all-purpose flour
4 stalks celery, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 quarts hot chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
6 stalks green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon gumbo file powder, or to taste
2 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

Cook sausage in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring constantly until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage to a bowl and reserve drippings in the Dutch oven.
Cook chicken in the drippings over medium heat to brown both sides, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
Heat oil in the Dutch oven. Add flour; cook and stir constantly over medium heat until roux is thick and the color of chocolate, 20 to 30 minutes. Be careful not to burn or you'll have to start again.
Add celery, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir for 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes longer. Stir in hot broth and bring to a boil.
Add chicken breasts, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning, thyme, pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove chicken and let cool.
Add sausage to the gumbo and simmer for 30 minutes.
Shred cooled chicken and add to the gumbo with green onions. Simmer for another 30 minutes.
Remove gumbo from the heat. Discard bay leaves and sprinkle gumbo with file powder. Serve over hot rice.

1 large onion, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 pinch salt
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 cups cold chicken broth, divided

Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a bowl with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the pan.
Return skillet to medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and a pinch of salt until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until bell peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.
Pour vegetable oil into the onion mixture, sprinkle in flour, and cook until flour is browned and mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon black pepper, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine.
Pour 1/4 cup of chicken broth into vegetable mixture; cook and stir, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan, until combined. Add remaining broth and Worcestershire sauce. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until sauce is thick and reduced slightly, about 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add andouille sausage, chicken, and reserved bacon. Cook until heated hot.
