Hi Lifestyle Maven fans, Sam here from fitness food & faith. I’m super pumped to be sharing one of my favorite fall recipes on Cailen’s blog while she’s off becoming a wife! As soon as the weather cools down, one of the first things I do is pull out my crock pot to make a delicious, easy and warming meal. I love a good gumbo as it’s a great way to use up some lingering leftover vegetables in the fridge.
Slow Cooker Gumbo
1lb boneless skinless chicken, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 10oz package frozen okra
2 links smoked chicken sausage, sliced
1 cup chopped onions
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
Combine all ingredients except the rice in crock pot. Mix well, cover and cook for 8 hours on low (or 4 hours on high). Serve over rice with hot cornbread.
Thanks, Cailen, for letting me take over your lovely blog for the day! I hope you’re having the time of your life.
I am sooo making this!
