Jambalaya 😋 we REALLY like it. I’m wondering if anyone that glances at my blog knows (hence the title) that I am basically jotting down notes for me & my family for future reference on recipes or dishes 🤔 yup 😊
On this one, I went cajun, I brown chicken and sausage first in a couple tbsp of oil (bacon fat works good 🥓😜), transfer to plate & sauté onion, celery & bell pepper (I happened to have roasted red pepper so yeah…that went in; always good). Add seasoning (cajun & other favorites like garlic powder, Lawry’s all purpose, S&P), crushed red pepper flakes & some dashes of favorite hot sauce. Then add 1 1/2 cups of long grain white rice, stir to coat and add 3 cups of chicken broth ➡️ in that I use Knorr’s chicken bouillon, a dash of the tomato/chicken bouillon & a tsp of Better than Bouillon chicken base…bouillon varies depending on what I have; i like the vegetable bouillon base. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover & let cook 20 – 25 minutes. Mine is just right at 20 minutes. If I have shrimp (cleaned), I add that for a few minutes at the end..until done, pink. 🦐 Most of the time, I do not have shrimp on hand. Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya is damn good by itself, though 🤩 Garnish with chopped green onion.
Whatever kind of peppers you have; make it work 😉
