Slowly add in flour, whisking constantly (you may not need all of the flour).
Continue whisking until flour mixture is smooth and begins to brown (about 2 minutes).
Add chicken and saute, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink.
Add onion, bell pepper, celery, seasoning, and garlic to pan. Saute and stir for 5-6 minutes or until vegetables are tender. If needed, add a little bit of stock to the pan to prevent ingredients from sticking.

Reduce heat to a simmer. Return sausage to pan and add okra.
Simmer for 10 minutes, or until okra is tender.
Serve over cooked white rice.
Notes
If you are able to find pre-chopped creole mix or mirepoix at your store, use 2.5 cups of the mix in place of the onion, bell pepper, garlic and celery.
