Authentic Jambalaya Recipe (Tasty Creole Style)

This jambalaya is packed with rich flavors and is perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. Let’s dive into the ingredients and get cooking!

Ingredients

1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
1 pound chicken thighs, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup long-grain rice
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Add the chopped chicken thighs to the pot and cook until no longer pink. Once cooked, remove and set aside with the sausage.
In the same pot, sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the can of diced tomatoes (with liquid), tomato paste, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine.
Return the sausage and chicken to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, stir in the long-grain rice. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Fluff the jambalaya with a fork, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.

Enjoy this hearty jambalaya with your favorite sides, or savor it on its own! The balance of flavors and textures is sure to impress everyone at the table. Happy cooking!
