Cajun Creole Jambalaya

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon Spice Rack Co's Cajun Creole seasoning
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sliced green onions and chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the chicken pieces. Season with a bit of the Cajun Creole seasoning and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside with the sausage.
  4. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the rice and the remaining Cajun Creole seasoning, cooking for a minute to toast the rice.
  6. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, and Worcestershire sauce. Return the sausage and chicken to the pot. Stir to combine.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  8. Add the shrimp to the pot, stirring well. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  9. Remove from heat, discard the bay leaf, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Garnish with green onions and parsley before serving.
