This delicious One Pot Creole Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo tastes similar to one of my most popular recipes – One Pot Jambalaya with Shrimp and Andouille Sausage.
The ingredients in the two recipes are similar but, this gumbo does not have a big tomato taste as does the jambalaya, although there are some tomatoes in the gumbo. Nonetheless, this One Pot Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo is just as tasty.
If you like jambalaya, then you’ll probably like this creole gumbo. The cooked chicken breast I added to this recipe shredded over time. The chicken adds good flavor to this hearty recipe.
Gumbo really hits the spot on a cold winter day. As the temps are falling, you’ll want a hot soup to warm you up.
How to Make One Pot Creole Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
*The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.
First, in a large dutch oven on medium heat, add butter and begin melting. When butter is almost melted, add flour and stir to make a roux. Quickly add olive oil and continue stirring.
Then, slowly add some of the chicken broth and continue stirring.
Next, stir in all of the chopped vegetables-onion, bell pepper, carrot, garlic, celery, and okra (optional).
After a few minutes, add some more of the chicken stock.
Continue stirring on medium heat and continue adding the chicken stock until all of it is added.
Then, add in some paprika, garlic powder, Cayenne pepper (or Creole Seasoning) and Sriracha sauce.
Then, add diced tomatoes with juice. Cover and let cook for 25 min.
Next, add Aidells Chicken and Apple Sausage (substitute Aidells Andouille Sausage if you prefer) and cooked chicken. Cover and let it cook for another 15 min.
Last, add 1 cup of minute rice and shrimp. Cook 10 min more or until the rice is soft and the shrimp turns orange.
This One Pot Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo is easy-to-make especially if you have a food processor and can throw all of the veggies in it. The food processor below is affordable and will save you time and energy!
Great Recipe for Meal Prep!
Double this recipe and store the extra in soup meal containers in your freezer. This is a great meal to pull out on nights you don’t feel like cooking.
I didn’t add okra to my gumbo but, you certainly can. Okra is not something I like. I know…what kind of southerner would I make? But, I don’t live in the south, so don’t hold it against me.
Although, I hope to one day. These cold northern winters are just too much for me!
When you are looking for a one pot meal that is hearty, full of flavor with lots of veggies to feed your family, this One Pot Creole Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo is it!
It is a complete meal in one bowl. The blend of seafood, sausage and chicken flavors is really great. It tastes even better the next day too.
