  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 4 cup chicken broth

  • Brown the chicken on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic, and sauté until softened.
  • Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.
  • Slowly add the apple cider and chicken broth, stirring constantly.
  • Return the chicken to the pot and add the Brussels sprouts.
  • Add Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil.

Notes

For best results, ensure the chicken is browned properly to enhance the flavor of the gumbo. Adjust the seasoning to taste, especially if you prefer a spicier dish. Serve over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the savory broth.
