Ok well if you want to learn how to make chauvin-style file' gumbo (no roux) let me know. Pretty much the healthiest gumbo on the planet.

pretty simple and straight forward. if you want to make it easier on yourself you can de-bone a roasted chicken from rouses.
Chicken File' Gumbo
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb. Thin-cut Chicken Breast
1 1/2 lb. Boneless Chicken Thigh
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
2 Medium-large Onions, chopped
2 Medium Bell Peppers, chopped
1 Bunch Short-Stalk Celery, halved and chopped
12 Cups Chicken Stock
1/2 Bunch Parsley, chopped
File’, to taste
Seasoning of Choice
*do not use a bare cast iron pot for this type of gumbo
Directions
Preheat oven to 415º. Lightly coat chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay out on a flat oven pan and cook until done, but still moist, about 20-25 minutes. Remove chicken, cool, and pull apart into medium-size pieces with two forks. Set Aside.
In a 5 1/2 qt. enameled dutch oven or magnalite, bring a small amount of oil to medium and brown onions for 15-20 minutes. After onions are soft and browned (but not burnt), add just enough water to cover the onions. Lower the fire to simmer and smother for 1 hour, adding small amounts of water periodically as needed.
After one hour of smother, add bell peppers, parsley and celery and simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until all vegetables are soft. Add the chicken stock and bring back to a simmer for 30 minutes. Halfway through, add the chicken meat to the pot.
Season the gumbo to taste, using:
-either your favorite all purpose creole seasoning, or black pepper/kosher salt/cayenne
-file’ powder. This is a file' gumbo, so remember this is a key component (just don't go overboard)
