Ingredients

• 12 oz Andouille sausage
• 2 pcs Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 piece Yellow onion (diced)
• 1 piece Green bell pepper (diced)
• 2 pcs Celery stalks (diced)
• 3 pcs Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 cups Long-grain white rice
• 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 1.5 tbsp Cajun or Creole seasoning
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 2 pcs Bay leaves
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• 2 pcs Green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the Andouille sausage into bite-sized rounds and dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and chicken, cooking until both are browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Add the long-grain white rice to the pot, stirring to coat the grains with the vegetables and oils.

Step 6

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, Cajun or Creole seasoning, dried thyme, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage and chicken to the pot. Stir gently to distribute the proteins evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully remove the pot from the oven, stir in the shrimp, and re-cover. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked and the rice is tender.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves and taste to adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your Easy Oven Jambalaya!
