Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces andouille sausage, sliced
• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 large green bell pepper, diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, with juices
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups long-grain rice
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the andouille sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside with the sausage.

Step 4

Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the sausage and chicken to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the shrimp to the pot, gently mixing them into the jambalaya. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and let the jambalaya sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Stir in the green onions and parsley just before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your Bistro Naturals Jambalaya!
