This is my first attempt at making gumbo and I think it turned out pretty darn good! I had originally made this recipe for Simply Organic’s Cajun style recipes and I just had to to share it with y’all. I made this recipe using chicken and sausage, but I think shrimp or ham would also make a delicious addition.

Blackened Chicken Gumbo is an easy weeknight dinner or it would be great dish for game day. You could easily prepare it and toss it in the crock pot to keep warm. Serve with a side of rice and viola, dinner is served!
