Awesome. Easy. Couldn't find File powder at the time so I used frozen & chopped okra - it was a little slimy. Added uncooked shrimp at the end in a colander cooked for 3 minutes and shocked in ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, I added it back to the gumbo and enjoyed. For the rice, I melted the butter and added the rice and cooked for about 2-3 minutes until the rice was coated then added the water & cooked as per instructions.

This recipe is wonderful. I use chicken breasts because I don't like dark meat, but no modifications are needed (this is coming from someone who NEVER follows a recipe exactly.

My family and I love this gumbo recipe! Have made it 3 times and its just wonderful. My mother in law makes a chicken gumbo that I love and this one is a more flavorful version than her's, I am hooked.

Have made this recipe a number of times my husband always asked for it. Great flavor and taste. Takes a while to make but well worth it.

A very good dish. I made some major changes though, because I didn't have everything on hand. I left out parsley, bay leaf, and file powder because I didn't have them; salt beause there is enough salt in Essence and smoked meat; subsituted yellow onion for green onion; used half kielbasa and half sweet Italian sausage and chicken legs instead of thighs; and added roasted chicken from the night before. Before browning the kielbasa I boiled it to remove some of the salt. For pretty presentation, I put the rice in a ramekin and invert it on the plate, then top with the gumbo. Shrimp also would have made a nice addition to this dish.

As a college student, we rarely eat good meals. However, i made this for my dinner group yesterday and they all loved it! i did add a little more flavoring (i.e. a whole head of garlic while it simmered and some thyme and also some white beans and canned tomatoes. I also like my gumbo a bit soupy so i added a bit more chicken stock. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and cubed them but reduced the last stage of cooking to 1 hour so they wouldn't dry out. All in all a good recipe but I modified some things just because of my personal preference : Oh! I also added some shrimp on the last 10 mins of cooking!

WoW! This is so delicious. The flavor is wonderful and I love the rice with it. Made as written and would not change anything. Takes half a day but on a freezing Minnesota day it's nice to be in the kitchen.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We cut the cayenne pepper in half and had no gumbo file, so used frozen whole okra (and chopped up instead. Will definitely make it again!!
