Helpful hints
- You may add more chicken stock if needed, but it will start to change the nutrient content.
- Gumbo File Powder should be with the herbs and spices isle of the grocery store.
- Look for low or unsalted chicken broth. Some low sodium brands will continue more potassium so be sure to read the label.
- If you are on a diet that requires less protein the chicken, sausage, and shrimp portions can be reduced by half or more if needed. This will bring some of the nutrients counts down.
