Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. First, get the roux started, it will take about 20 minutes to cook. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the flour and stir often, cooking until the roux becomes a dark chocolate color.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  3. Meanwhile, toss the chicken breasts in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons minced garlic and 1 tablespoons spice mix. Grill the chicken until cooked through, taking care not to overcook and dry out the meat. Cool, dice and set aside.
  4. In a large stockpot, saute the celery, onions, red pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons garlic in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, sausage, okra, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, spice mix, tomato paste, black pepper and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Add the roux and simmer 5 more minutes, stirring gently. Taste for seasonings and adjust. Add the shrimp just before serving, heating just until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve over white rice.
  5. Cook's Notes: The gumbo is better the next day, after the flavors have had time to meld. Refrigerate gumbo overnight after seasonings are adjusted; don't add the shrimp until you are ready to heat and serve.
