FAQ:

Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?
Yes, you can use chicken breast, but chicken thighs provide more flavor and tend to stay more tender in long simmering dishes like gumbo.

Can I make this gumbo ahead of time?
Yes! Gumbo actually tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together.
