A chicken gumbo recipe with corn and brown rice, along with okra, carrots, peppers, and other seasonings and ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds chicken pieces, skinned
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup brown rice
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 10 ounces frozen sliced okra
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes

Preparation:

Cover chicken with water and broth. Bring to a boil; simmer 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Remove chicken pieces from broth. When chicken can be handled, remove meat from bones and dice.
