Jambalaya

Method

Jambalaya

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add andouille sausage, chicken, bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the chicken is browned.

  2. 2

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, and cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is cooked. Fluff with a fork and garnish with green onions.

Fried Chicken

    Marinate Chicken

    Place chicken pieces in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
