Jambalaya is a traditional Louisiana dish filled with savory spices and complex flavors. It’s a one-pot meal that combines rice, meat, vegetables, and spices in a rich, flavorful stew. It’s a perfect dish for a chilly evening, and it’s surprisingly easy to make. In this article, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how to prepare jambalaya.

Ingredients
1 pound sausage (andouille or other spicy sausage)
2 chicken breasts
1 large onion
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
3 stalks celery
4 cloves garlic
2 cups long-grain white rice
4 cups chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions and parsley for garnish
Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.

2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pot, and cook until it’s browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside with the sausage.

3. Dice the onion, bell peppers, and celery, and mince the garlic. Add the vegetables to the same pot, and cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they’re soft and translucent.

4. Add the rice to the pot, stir well to coat it with the vegetables, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is slightly toasted.

5. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.

6. Add the cooked sausage and chicken back into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed.

7. Remove the bay leaves and discard them. Fluff the rice with a fork, and let the jambalaya sit for a few minutes before serving.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley, and serve with hot sauce on the side for those who like a little extra heat.

Jambalaya is a dish that’s meant to be shared, so invite some friends over, pour some cold drinks, and serve up a steaming pot of this delicious Louisiana classic.
