Gumbo Style Chicken Creole

Submitted by cellogirl2

"Cooked leftover chicken can be tossed into this gumbo and simmered with tomatoes, mushrooms, chile peppers, a little of this and a little of that. Delicious chicken gumbo consistency with tomato base. Makes plenty to last for several days. Serve over hot cooked rice and sprinkle with filet powder, if desired."

We cut the flour out of this as well as the Worshire sauce and used low sodium soy sauce. We also had half chicken and half shrimp leftover so we tossed it all together and this ended up being absolutely fabulous! A thin creole/gumbo, but it was light and not a heavy dish at all. A keeper!
