Gumbo has a history of being made with roux, but my mom's recipe didn't have it. This rouxless gumbo is my most requested item at work, tailgating parties, and home. The vegetables really shine in this gumbo!

Place chicken in a large pot; add enough water to cover. Cover the pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meat falls off the bone, about 90 minutes. Remove chicken, let cool, and shred meat; skim broth and reserve.

Add sausage, okra, diced tomatoes, corn, tomatoes with green chilies, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and reserved broth; bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
