Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and slice the Andouille sausage.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meats

    Add the minced garlic, chicken, and Andouille sausage to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Rice and Seasonings

    Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes (with juice), cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Add the Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the jambalaya with a fork, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
