JAMBALAYA



When I think Jambalaya I've ALWAYS thought shrimp, crawfish or crab...until now! This recipe was so easy, so yummy and made with chicken and sausage!

vegetable oil
3 celery stalks
1 bell pepper
1 large onion
1-2 cloves of garlic
3-4 cups chicken
pepper
creaole seasoning
1 beef kielbasa sausage
2 cups instant rice
2 cans of chicken broth
1 can tomato sauce

Bake chicken & sausage in oven at 350 until cooked. Cut chicken into cubes and slice sausage. In a large pot pour 1-2 TBSP of oil and heat. Add chopped onion, pepper, celery and garlic, cook until soft. Add chicken and sausage along with pepper & creole & cook for 5-10 minutes. Add rice, broth & tomato sauce. Season again & stir. Bring to a boil then remove from heat. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes. Uncover, return to medium heat and stir. Continue to cook until desired consistency is reached.

Best served with cornbread.
