Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 pound of chicken thighs, diced
1 pound of smoked sausage, sliced
1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup of long-grain rice
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 stalks of celery, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes
3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions, chopped for garnish
Chopped parsley for added freshness
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the diced chicken thighs and sliced sausage to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and the sausage is slightly crispy.
Stir in the long-grain rice and cook for 2 minutes to toast it slightly. Then, add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), broth, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well to combine all ingredients and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, add the shrimp on top of the jambalaya. Cover again and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove from heat and let the pot sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with green onions and parsley.
