When you think of Louisiana, vibrant, flavorful cuisine often comes to mind. One dish that perfectly captures the essence of this Southern state is the beloved Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. This rich, hearty stew brims with the deep flavors of smoky sausage, tender chicken, and a dark, flavorful roux. The secret? Allowing the holy trinity of Cajun cooking—onions, bell peppers, and celery—to meld beautifully with classic Cajun spices.
I first fell in love with this dish during a visit to Louisiana. The warmth of the gumbo felt like a welcoming hug, especially when paired with freshly baked cornbread. It was love at first bite! That trip inspired me to recreate the experience at home, and now, I’m excited to share this authentic Chicken and Sausage Gumbo recipe with you.
