Virginia Chicken Gumbo With Ham

"Putting a Virginia spin on classic chicken gumbo with the addition of ham and oysters! Top each bowl of stew with a scoop of rice for a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying Southern meal. Gumbo is a staple in creole cuisine, and is a beautiful dish that represents the coming together of several cultures — including West African, French, German, and Choctaw. This flavorful, zesty stew combines various meats or seafood in a thick sauce or gravy. Gumbo is typically seasoned with parsley and “the holy trinity” of vegetables: onion, bell pepper, and celery, as well as garlic and tomatoes (on occasion)."
