Clean Chicken Gumbo

Burney has been asking me to make this dish since he found it in Rachel Ray's magazine in March!  I'm not a huge fan of gumbo type foods & spices - but I have to say that this one is pretty good.  And Burney LOVED it!  It's clean, simple and tasty!

Ingredients

- 3 ribs celery, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 scallion, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded.
  (I cooked chicken thighs & breasts in the crock pot to use.  You will need about 4 cups of meat total)
** I also added 1 package of Al Fresco chicken   sausage and decreased the shredded chicken to   
about 3 cups)
- 4 cups chicken stock
- cooked brown rice OR quinoa

Directions

1. In pot, cook first 6 ingredients over medium heat until vegetables just start to soften, about 4 minutes.

2. Add shredded chicken, chicken sausage and chicken stock, bring to boil and simmer for about 30 minutes.  Season with salt/pepper as needed (we didn't need to add any salt or pepper).  Serve over rice or quinoa.

This recipe serves about 4.
