A bold and flavorful Cajun Jambalaya that cooks in one pot, perfect for busy weeknights.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 pound chicken, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned.
  2. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink.
  3. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic; cook until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
  6. Fluff the jambalaya with a fork and let it rest for a few minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

You can swap ingredients to suit what you have on hand, and the dish reheats well. For a milder version, serve a small scoop plain alongside the full-flavored portion.
