Sure! Here's a classic jambalaya recipe for you
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breasts, diced
- 1 lb (450g) smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz / 400g) diced tomatoes
- 3 cups (600g) chicken broth
- 1 cup (200g) long grain rice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Chopped green onions and fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside with the chicken.
4. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
7. Return the cooked chicken and sausage to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Once boiling, add the long grain rice to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
9. Taste the jambalaya and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and additional cayenne pepper if desired.
10. Serve the jambalaya hot, garnished with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.
Enjoy your delicious homemade jambalaya!
