I wasn't able to get a whole chicken, so I used chicken breasts and ended up shredding the chicken and that worked out fine. Regarding the previous review.there is no way you can make this recipe without the cayenne so I don't think it's fair to rate it without having used cayenne. I really enjoyed this recipe! It was easy to make, yet took enough time to feel like I was putting "love" into making it. Until I made it myself and found out how dull it is. I thought that the other reviews that called this "dull" were a little harsh. But if you're looking for a good gumbo-type stew recipe, this is NOT the one to go with. If your Mom made this for you when you were a kid, it might bring back pleasant memories. Unless you're from Cajun Country, do not expect much. Boy was I missing it! Every time she cooked it she'd tell my friend to invite me to dinner! Thanks for the recipe. Altered the seasonings just a little but this is the chicken stew my friends mom in New Orleans used to make. If you're looking for a gumbo type meal this isn't it. I think you could add just about any thing to this and it would be yummy, albeit maybe not cajun traditional. I added a lot of cayenne as well as some red potatoes and sausage. The instructions were clear and relatively easy (I think I could make gravy now that I can make roux). I don't cook - but as an experiment, I made dinner tonight. I haven't made this yet but it sounds close to how I was taught to make this.And it is not ment to be a gumbo it a stew with a roux! Yum,yummy! Five forks from me Cooked the roux till it was color of dark peanut butter. Really enjoyed this chicken stew (wasn't expecting a gumbo). This is a deceptively simple recipe, analogous to Don Link's smothered pork roast over rice from "Real Cajun" cook book.
