Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grates
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, plus 1 small red onion, cut into 2-inch pieces, layers separated
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 teaspoon dried oregano
12 ounces precooked andouille or kielbasa sausage (about 2 links), cut into 16 pieces

Steps:

Soak eight 6-inch-long wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in black-eyed peas, vinegar, and remaining oil.
Heat grill to medium; lightly oil grates. Season chicken with oregano, salt, and pepper. Alternately thread chicken, onion, and sausage onto skewers.
Grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve skewers with black-eyed pea salad.

WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE JAMBALAYA

Weeknight Chicken and Andouille Jambalaya image

Jambalaya traditionally contains sausage of some sort, often a smoked sausage such as andouille, along with some other meat or seafood, frequently pork, chicken, crawfish, or shrimp. Andouille is a coarse-grained smoked sausage made using smoked pork shoulder, garlic, pepper, onions, wine, and seasonings. The vegetable base is a combination of onion, celery, and green bell pepper known as the "holy trinity." I find that green bell peppers can be difficult to digest, so I use poblano peppers instead. They are far more flavorful and complex and less likely to cause digestive distress. For generations, some of the most flavorful rice Americans have eaten has been jasmine rice imported to the United States from Asia. Twelve years ago, the Louisiana State University AgCenter started a project to increase rice production in Louisiana, and the state is now the third largest rice-producing state in the United States.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons pure olive oil
12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (2 pounds)
1 tablespoon Homemade Creole Seasoning (recipe follows)
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice, such as jasmine or basmati
1/2 cup tomato puree
2 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock or reduced-sodium low-fat chicken broth
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook until the meat starts to brown and the fat renders, 3 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate. Add the chicken and sprinkle the Creole seasoning over the chicken. Cook until the chicken is just beginning to color, 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the plate with the sausage.
Reduce the heat to medium and then add the onion, celery, and poblano pepper to the residual oil in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to color, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the rice and stir to coat. Stir in the tomato puree and stock and bring to a boil. Return the chicken and sausage to the skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, stirring once, until the rice is tender and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with the tip of a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Combine all ingredients in a small airtight container or mason jar. Shake to combine. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic vegetables, free-range chicken, andouille sausage, and a flavorful Cajun seasoning blend.
Make sure your skewers are long enough to accommodate all of the ingredients without being overcrowded. You should have about 1 inch of space between each ingredient.
To prevent the skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the kebabs. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat and vegetables.
Cook the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve the kebabs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cajun kebabs with chicken and andouille are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. With a little bit of preparation, you can have these kebabs on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these Cajun kebabs a try. You won't be disappointed!
