Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium sized pot, add chicken breast and thighs and cover with 2 quarts of water. Bring water to a boil, then simmer until fully cooked about 20 to 25 minutes. Strain the water and reserve. Remove the cooked chicken from the pot, and allow to cool. Once cooled, shred chicken into smaller pieces, cover and set aside. In a medium sized sauce pan, add the okra and ½ cup of water/ Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 7-9 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer the okra to a colander to drain the water and reserve the cooked okra.In a large pot, combine ½ cup unsalted butter and ½ cup flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a whisk to make a dark brown roux, about 15 minutes. Add onion, bell peppers, celery and garlic and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.Add cooked okra, tomatoes and sliced Andouille sausage. Cook for about 15 minutes. Add bay leaf, thyme, basil, pepper and salt. Add 4 cups of the reserved strained water from the cooked chicken, mix well and bring to a gently boil. You may add more depending on how thick you want the gumbo. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes with the pot loosely covered, stirring occasionally.Add cooked shredded chicken and simmer an additional 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and slowly stir in the file. Do not reboil after adding in file as this tends to make the gumbo stringy. Serve over steamed rice.
