Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the Andouille sausage and dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chop the bell peppers, onion, and celery, and mince the garlic.

2

Brown the Sausage and Chicken

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Andouille sausage and chicken pieces, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

4

Combine Ingredients

Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

5

Cook the Jambalaya

Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

6

Add the Shrimp

Stir in the shrimp and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

7

Final Touches

Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
