Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For the roux, pour oil into saucepan over medium heat. Slowly add flour while mixing in with the oil. Stir continuously until rue is a dark chocolate brown. This will take approximately 30 or so minutes. If you stop stirring to do something else, the roux will burn and you'll have to start all over again. If roux doesn't get dark enough, you can add kitchen bouquet.
  2. Once the roux is dark brown, add vegetables one by one starting with onion. Make sure each vegetable is thoroughly mixed in before adding the next vegetable. Garlic will be the last to add. Delay adding okra until just before serving (add a little sooner if you're using frozen okra) to avoid them from getting mushy.
  3. Add in seasonings. Taste test while cooking.
  4. Add the meat and mix inches Allow chicken to brown, then add chicken broth. Stir thoroughly. Let simmer for at least 10 minutes to blend all the flavors. Serve over rice.
