How to Make French Onion Jambalaya

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken and sausage; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Return chicken and sausage to the skillet. Stir in French onion soup, salsa, and cayenne pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Stir in shrimp and peas. Cover and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and opaque.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
