Smoky Chicken And Andouille Gumbo

Chunky chicken pieces roasted with Creole spices. Slow cooked roux turned dark chocolate brown for depth. Bell peppers, jalapeño, celery, and onions sweated gently into the thickened base. Added fire-roasted tomatoes instead of canned for smoky undertone. Thyme and bay leaf infuse aroma while smoked paprika replaces regular. Simmer low, long enough for melding; at least 1.5 hours, better close to 2. Finishing with fresh scallions and parsley for bite. Serve over fluffy rice. Underlines Cajun soul, technique over fuss. Serves 10 hungry folks.
