Instructions

Start cooking rice according to package directions.
Cut chicken into pieces, season with salt and pepper, then toss with 3 tablespoons flour.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet, brown the floured chicken, then transfer to a dish and set aside.
Brown sliced sausage in the same skillet, then add it to the cooked chicken.
Chop onion, bell pepper, and celery; set aside.
In a large pot, heat 1/2 cup oil and add 1/2 cup flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a deep blonde color.
Stir in the chopped vegetables and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add chicken broth, tomatoes, bay leaf, Creole seasoning, thyme, and the browned chicken and sausage mixture to the pot.
Bring the gumbo to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, skimming excess fat as needed.
Stir in chopped green onions and parsley, and heat for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve the gumbo hot with cooked rice and crusty bread.
