Categories     Chicken     Pork     Rice     Shellfish     Bake

Yield 4 portions

Number Of Ingredients 21

Seasoning mix:
2 whole bay leaves
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. rubbed sage
Jambalaya prep:
2 tbsp. butter
1 lb. peeled deveiened shrimp (u26-30) tail removed
3/4 lb. andouille sausage,
cut into bite size pieces
1 lb. chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces.
1 c. diced onions
1 c. diced celery
1 c. diced green bell peppers
1 tbsp. minced garlic
12 oz. canned diced tomatoes in sauce
2 1/2 c. chicken stock
1 1/2 cups (converted) uncooked rice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients for the seasoning mix in a small bowl and set aside. Preheat oven to 350f. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the andouille sausage and cook until meat starts to brown, about 3 mins. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken turns brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until orange, about 4 minutes. Stir frequently. Stir in the seasoning mix and 1/2 of each onion, celery, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until vegetables become tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and sauce and cook about 1 minute. Stir in remaining vegatables, and remove from heat. Stir in the chicken stock and rice, and mix well. Transfer mixture to an ungreased baking pan and bake uncovered at 350f for about 1 hour or until all liquid has evaporated. Stir periodically. Before service, remove bay leaves. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, plump shrimp, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, andouille sausage with a good balance of spice and smokiness, and flavorful vegetables. - Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're using a large skillet or Dutch oven, make sure there's enough room for the ingredients to spread out in a single layer. Overcrowding will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will make the jambalaya mushy. - Cook the rice separately. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming overcooked and mushy. - Add the vegetables and shrimp last. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough. - Season the jambalaya to taste. Use a combination of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a flavorful dish. - Serve the jambalaya immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include green onions, chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, and hot sauce.

Conclusion:

This delicious and versatile dish can be tailored to your own taste preferences by adjusting the amount of spice and vegetables used. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and shrimp, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
