chicken & rice gumbo
I tried this receipe and my family and I really enjoyed it. I will fix it again. I added diced tomatoes as well as stewed tomatoes. I also added shrimp when I added the okra and that was a great addition. I used Tony Cacheres seasoning and I thought that added just the right seasoning.

Chicken 'n Rice Gumbo
Very good and fairly quick. Very bland without the pepper sauce. I used diced tomatoes instead of the stewed and will be making it again!!!
