Main Ingredients

Jerk Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the green bell pepper, red onion, and garlic cloves finely. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken thighs. Sear on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.

  3. 6

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 7

    Combine Rice and Broth

    Add the brown rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the lobster broth and bring to a boil.

  5. 8

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, add back the chicken and sausage, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

  6. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, fluff the jambalaya with a fork. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
