Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by chopping the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and slicing the smoked sausage. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Mince the garlic and set all the vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Protein

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the sliced sausage and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sausage is slightly browned.

  2. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 4

    Incorporate Spices

    Add paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables with the spices.

  4. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Rice

    Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and stir to combine. Then, add the long-grain rice and stir until it's evenly distributed.

  5. 6

    Pour in the Broth

    Pour the chicken broth into the pot, ensuring all the rice is submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. 7

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  7. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the jambalaya with a fork and mix in the chopped green onions before serving.
