How to Make 440 Main S Jambalaya

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large cast iron pot or 4-quart skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 medium onion (chopped). Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in 1 pound of Andouille sausage (sliced), 1/2 pound of diced ham, 4 cups of chicken stock, 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken and sausage are cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  5. Gently stir in 2 cups of long-grain white rice. Increase heat to medium and stir well to combine.
  6. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork before serving.
  8. Serve in 4 large bowls, garnished with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
