Jen's Jambalaya

My family loves a lot of flavor and spice in our food and jambalaya delivers. This is my version of a New Orleans jambalaya that’s got a nice kick to it but not overly hot for those whose tongues can’t handle it.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup chopped celery
  • ¼ cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2/3 cup diced cooked chicken breast
  • 2/3 cup cooked crumbled Italian sausage
  • 2/3 cup peeled cooked shrimp

Directions

Step 1
Melt margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, and green pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and rice; season with basil, garlic, pepper, hot sauce, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.

Step 2
Once the rice has cooked, stir in chicken, sausage, and shrimp. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Remove bay leaf before serving.
