Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya Recipe

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 pack of Andouille sausage

1 1/2 cups long-grain rice

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1/3 cup diced green bell pepper

1/3 cup diced yellow onion

1/3 cup diced celery

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp tomato paste

1/2 tbsp garlic paste

2 tbsp divided Cajun seasoning

For the Cajun Seasoning:

2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Combine all the ingredients for the Cajun seasoning and set aside. 2. Season the chicken with kosher salt and black pepper. 3. In a pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil, sausage, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside. 4. In the same pot, add chicken and cook until it's 90% done, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside. 5. Sauté the 'holy trinity' of bell pepper, onion, and celery for 1-2 minutes. 6. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, then add rice and toast for another 1-2 minutes. 7. Pour in chicken broth, add the chicken and sausage back into the pot, and stir well. 8. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. 9. Once the broth has evaporated and the rice is tender, your jambalaya is ready to serve. Enjoy!
