This Cajun sausage and chicken jambalaya recipe draws on both Cajun and Creole cuisines, featuring an array of traditional aromatic spices and juicy Cajun sausage in a tomato sauce.
Chop onions, celery, and bell pepper in 1/8 to 1/4 inch pieces.
Add olive oil to a heated sauté pan. Add in onions and press garlic. Cook until onions begin to turn translucent.
Add in chopped celery and bell peppers. Stir occasionally until bell peppers begin to get soft.
Cut chicken and sausage into bite sized pieces.
Rinse rice thoroughly using a fine mesh strainer.
Add rice into the sauté pan, then chicken broth, followed by the spices, and then the tomato sauce. Add in the chicken and sausage. Stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cover with lid and place in oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring at around 45 minutes.
