This recipe is a 100% original backpacking recipe developed by Grant and Nicky. It all started when we made a Chicken Gumbo at home and thought, this would taste great out on the trail on a chilly fall evening after a long day of hiking. And boy were we right!
After a quick internet search we realized there there was not a backpacking recipe out there for Chicken Gumbo so we were going to have to create one for ourselves. After a couple of trials we have found just the right combination of ingredients.
