Cut up whole chicken (breast, legs, thighs) and rinse under cold water.
Chop all vegetables; red bell pepper, green onions, and celery.
Chop smoked beef saugage. If you don’t like beef, you can use turkey or chicken sausage too!
Place all chicken into your roaster oven and add all seasonings (salt-free seasoning, seasoning salt, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, paprika, etc.).
Add all chopped and frozen vegetables and chopped sausage.
Add can of chopped tomatoes.
Pour in chicken broth and water.
Cover roaster oven and cook for 1 ½ hours at 325.
Remove from oven and use a ladle or spoon to skim some of the fat off the top to make a gravy (take about 1/4 cup of fat).
Make gravy with flour and fat and add back into stew mixture.
Cook stew covered for 1 hour.
Remove from oven. Add chopped and peeled russet potatoes. Stir until well mixed, recover stew, and cook for another 35 minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add gumbo filet to thicken up the stew (and add some nice flavor!). Mix in until well combined. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes.
Serve stew over white rice and a biscuit or cornbread for a side!
