  4. To your same dutch oven, add oil and flour and cook together stirring often until your roux is brown. Maybe a bit darker than Peanut Butter.

  7. Add salt and pepper, tomatoes (okra, if you like) and celery then cover and cook 30 minutes or until vegetables are done.
  8. Reduce heat to medium low.
  9. Add chicken and sausage back in and simmer an additional 15 minutes or until chicken is completely done.
