How to Make Anti Seafood Jambalaya

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of sliced Andouille sausage and 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the sausage and chicken mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, and 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color). Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 2 bay leaves. Cook for 2 minutes more, until fragrant.
  6. Return the sausage and chicken mixture to the pot. Add 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, 3 cups chicken broth, and 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  8. Continue to cook, covered, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 10-15 more minutes. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
  9. Fluff the jambalaya with a fork and stir in 1/4 cup chopped scallions before serving. Enjoy!
