Chicken Gumbo - Low Carb

"Delicious Low-Carb Chicken Gumbo from Prevention Magazines cookbook "Smart Low-Carb Living Made Easy". I buy the diced ham in the deli section and use diced tomatoes with green chili's (rather than the crushed tomatoes) to give it a bit more of a kick, in addition to the ground red pepper."

directions

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot over meadium heat, and add the ionion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and black pepper. Cover, and cook just until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in 2 1/2 cans of the broth and bring to a simmer (approx. 15 minutes on low/medium heat).
  • Add the tomatoes, ham, chicken, thyme, bay leaf and red pepper. Partially cover and cook until the chicken is tender, 25 to 35 minutes, adding the remaining broth as necessary if the gumbo is too thick.
  • Remove from heat, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool slightly. Cut into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones, and return to the pot. Reheat briefly, and stir in the parsley. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
