Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound smoked sausage chopped
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 2-3 stalks celery chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can petite-diced tomatoes 14.5 oz.
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1-1/4 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
- 2-1/2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Place sausage in the skillet and sprinkle with half of the Cajun seasoning. Cook the sausage until browned. Remove the sausage from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the chicken to the same pan and sprinkle the remaining Cajun seasoning over the top. Cook chicken until slightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery to the same pan and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper flakes, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Stir in the cooked sausage, cooked chicken, rice, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and allow the rice to continue to steam for an additional 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
Notes
- Jambalaya is traditionally made with sausage and some sort of other meat. Feel free to substitute an equal amount of seafood, pork, crawfish, or shrimp in place of (or in addition to) the chicken in this recipe.
