Directions

60 min.

1. Step

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. It's vital to choose a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients, as this is a one-pot meal.

2. Step

Add the onion, bell peppers, celery, and garlic to the pot. Saute until the veggies are softened, which usually takes around 10 minutes.

3. Step

Stir in the uncooked rice to the pot. Let it toast for about 2 minutes while stirring constantly. This step will give the rice a nice nutty flavor.

4. Step

Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine.

5. Step

Add the diced chicken breast and sliced andouille sausage to the pot. Lower the heat to medium low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. The slow simmering infuses the flavors into the rice and meat adequately.

6. Step

Stir in the raw shrimp, cover the pot again and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the shrimp are cooked and pink.

7. Step

Remove the pot from the heat. Discard the bay leaves and let the jambalaya rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together even more.

8. Step

Serve hot, garnished with parsley to give it a touch of fresh flavor.
