Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the andouille sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
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.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
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.
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.
Remove the pot from heat and let the jambalaya sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the green onions and parsley just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Bistro Naturals Jambalaya!
