How to Make Chicken Shrimp And Sausage Jambalaya

  1. In a large deep skillet (at least 12 inches) with a lid, saute 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 celery stalk (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add 1 lb sliced andouille sausage (or your favorite smoked sausage) to the skillet. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, the sauteed vegetables, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste), 1 cup water, and 1 cup long-grain white rice.
  5. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked through.
  6. Gently stir in 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined). Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
