Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the chicken thighs, and slice the andouille sausage into rounds. Chop the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables and Meats

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 3

    Cook the Meats

    Add the diced chicken and sliced sausage to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Add the canned diced tomatoes and mix well.

  4. 5

    Add Rice and Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the long-grain rice.

  5. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  6. 7

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves, fluff the jambalaya with a fork, and serve hot. Enjoy your New Orleans style jambalaya!
