Gumbo Style Chicken Creole
"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!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the Pacific Northwest US.
I am a sophomore in high school, and I love to cook/bake.
I have a fairly large family (4 brothers and 4 sisters) and we're all big eaters, so I enjoy the challenge of finding recipes to feed us all.
In my free time (of which there is little), I am in 4-H with my dairy goats, and I'm the president of the club - I am also a teen leader, and I'm thinking about joining the state council.
I am very active in politics and activism, and I am a member of the Washington State Young Democrats.
I have played the piano for 6.5 years and the cello for 2 years.
I am taking 2 classes at the local high school this year: Acting Techniques and Honors Humanities.
I sing in my church choir, and I love music (I have been known to listen to love songs for hours).
My passions are reading and writing.
I am in a homeschool orchestra with my cello, and a homeschool chess club.
I am classified as a nerd. :P
I want to do running start my last two years of high school, and attend Duke or Stanford or some big college to get my PhD in counseling psychology.
I'm a hopeless romantic.
I love old and vintage things.
I just recently became a vegetarian. I really would like to become vegan, but my financial resources are very limited right now and I can't afford it. Once I move out of my parents' house and have a job, I'll make the switch.
I am really a very liberal Christian (I'm a theistic evolutionist, a feminist, I accept other religions, and I believe homosexuality is ok), and I'm very vocal about my opinions, which gets me in trouble a lot at the Baptist church I go to.
I love debating.
I hate any war, for whatever reason, and I am thrilled that Obama won. YAY!!!
I'm taken by the most amazing guy ever. Even though we are totally different (I'm Protestant, he's Catholic; I'm a liberal Democrat, he's a conservative Republican; I'm very outgoing and loud; he's typically shy and quiet), I am totally, madly in love with him. Sorry, boys. ;)
Anything else? Ask me. :D
