How to Make Southern Comfort Jambalaya
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of chopped smoked ham (or andouille sausage) and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the ham/sausage from the pot and set aside.
- Add 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add 1 large green bell pepper (chopped), 1 large red bell pepper (chopped), and 1 medium onion (chopped) to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in 2 (28-ounce) cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (6-ounce) can of tomato paste (optional, for a stronger tomato flavor), 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon of hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1.5 cups of long-grain white rice to the pot and stir to combine.
- Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth (or regular chicken broth), 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Gently stir in the cooked ham/sausage, chicken, and 1 pound of cooked or raw shrimp (peeled and deveined). Continue to simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the shrimp is pink and opaque. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
