Method

Jambalaya Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the hot sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In the same pot, add the cubed chicken breast and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Creole seasoning, bay leaves, and return the sausage and chicken to the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Rice

    Add the long-grain rice to the pot, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Cook

    Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid. If using shrimp, add it during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the jambalaya with a fork before serving.

Salad Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shredded carrot. Toss to mix evenly.

  2. 9

    Dress Salad

    Drizzle with your choice of dressing and toss to coat just before serving.

Serving

  1. 10

    Prepare Dinner Rolls

    Warm the dinner rolls in the oven if desired and serve with butter on the side.

  2. 11
