How to Make Creole Style Chicken Sausage Jambalaya

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the sliced chicken sausage over medium-high heat. Remove sausage and set aside.

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes (undrained), chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaves.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  7. Stir in the cooked chicken sausage. Cover and simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley before serving. Serve hot with cornbread muffins and sweet tea!
