Ingredients
For the Jambalaya
- 1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 lb. boneless chicken, shredded
- 3 cups of rice
- 1 large bell pepper, chopped (red or green for extra color!)
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, chopped
- 1 tsp. of chopped garlic (freshly minced for the best flavor)
- 1 tbsp. chicken bouillon
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp. thyme
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 3 dashes Tabasco sauce (more for those who like it spicy!)
- 2 cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
-
Start by browning the sliced sausage in a large (6 qt.) pot over medium heat. This will add depth of flavor!
-
In the same pot, use the drippings from the sausage to cook the shredded chicken until golden. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery, sautéing them until softened.
🔪 Tip: Stirring frequently helps prevent burning and ensures even cooking!
-
Add the rice to the pot, followed by enough water to cover the rice by about 3 inches. Bring this to a medium-high heat and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes.
-
Now, add everything else — the browned sausage, chicken, garlic, chicken bouillon, bay leaves, spices, crushed tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce.
-
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cooking for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom!
⏳ Make sure to keep an eye on the water level as it cooks; you want the rice to absorb all those delicious flavors without drying out.
Serving Suggestions
- Garnish: Top with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Sides: A light coleslaw or a cool cucumber salad complements the spiciness beautifully.
Variations
- Seafood Jambalaya: Swap the chicken for shrimp or add crab meat towards the end of cooking for a delightful seafood twist! 🦐🦀
- Vegetarian: Replace the meat with a mix of hearty vegetables such as zucchini and mushrooms, and use vegetable bouillon for added flavor.
- Spicy: For a real kick, double the cayenne and add chopped jalapeños to the mix.
