I put raw, bone-in chicken in my gumbo & cook it until tender, so I don't use stock.

If you're using boneless, skinless chicken, you're gonna need some stock to keep it from being flat. In lieu of stock, try water & a little "Better than Boullion".

This X's eleventeen billion. If you cook a gumbo & add a raw hen (meat on the bone) to your water, roux, & veggies & let that boil a couple of hours, add sausage about an hour before it's done (over boiling sausage can make for weird texture), you will not need to add stock.

How do you keep the chicken from falling off the bone and leaving a lot of bones, gristle, and skin floating in the pot? I do a fricassee the same way and I always have a problem with that.
