Leftovers is all I used. I don't use a recipe because living here in Lafayette LA you were raised on gumbo and learned to make it "by ear." I think I had gumbo in my bottle instead of milk when I was a baby.
Anyway, make a roux or buy some in a jar already made. If you buy the roux, saute the holy trinity; celery, onions and bell pepper, in a pot. After they wilt you can add the roux. All quantities depend on how much you want to make. Add your sausage...let that fry/simmer a while then add water. Too little is better than too much. A touch of tomato can't hurt either. Finally, add the chicken.
That's the basics but there are thousands of recipes on the internet if you want to go step by step.
