This amazing one-pot dish is packed with flavours, super easy to make, and ready in a cinch! It is a filling meal with rice, chicken, shrimp, and sausages that your entire family will surely enjoy!

Ingredients

1 lb. shrimp peeled and deveined

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed

1 tbsp olive oil

1 yellow onion diced

1 c. long grain rice

2 bell peppers diced (you can use red, green, yellow, etc.)

6 oz. andouille sausage sliced into coins

3 cloves garlic minced

1/4 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp oregano

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 14.5-ounces can diced tomatoes

2 c. low-sodium fat-free chicken broth

1 tsp or to taste, cajun seasoning

2 celery ribs diced

dried parsley for garnish

2 green onions thinly sliced, for garnish

salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

How to make Jambalaya

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, celery, and bell peppers, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the veggies are just tender. Next, add the garlic, stir and cook for a minute.

Step 2: Add the chicken to the pot along with the sweet paprika and oregano. Continue to cook for 5 minutes more or until all sides of the chicken have browned.

Step 3: Now, whisk in the prepared sausage and tomato paste. Cook for a minute more before adding in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, rice, and Cajun seasoning.

Step 4: Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to medium-low. Put the lid on and cook further until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. This takes additional 20 minutes.

Step 5: Then, add the shrimp and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes or until completely cooked and the shrimp is pink.

Step 6: Remove from the heat when done and serve the Jambalaya immediately garnished with some sliced green onions and dried parsley. Enjoy!
