Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Chop the green bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the andouille sausage.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sliced andouille sausage over medium heat until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Chicken and Seasoning

    Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 5

    Add Rice and Liquid

    Stir in the long-grain rice, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, and the cooked sausage. Bring to a boil.

  5. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  6. 7

    Add Shrimp

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the shrimp and cover again until they are pink and opaque.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Serve the jambalaya hot, accompanied by slices of fresh cornbread.
