Quick Rotisserie Chicken Gumbo

This recipe is from the Oct 2017 issue of Food Network Magazine. We absolutely loved it! It ended up making about 8 'person' meals, as Brad says, or 4 nights of dinner for the two of us. We ate it twice this week and put two portions in the freezer.
Notes about the recipe:
• I left out the fresh thyme and frozen okra.
• I use bouillon cubes to make broth.
• I accidentally left off the scallions at the end, (I just forgot when we went to serve it)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Andouille sausage cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • ½ cup peanut oil
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 cup green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • teaspoons Creole seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups rotisserie chicken shredded from 1 large rotisserie chicken
  • 14½ ounces diced tomatoes 1 can, with juice
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 cups white rice cooked (and hot)
  • ¼ cup scallions sliced
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the sausages in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; gradually whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour is a deep caramel color roux, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, thyme, Creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually stir in the broth; add the chicken, tomatoes, okra, Worcestershire sauce, and sausage.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened slightly about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the gumbo over the hot cooked rice topped with the scallions. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
