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.

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

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.

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground mustard
Pinch celery salt
For the jambalaya:
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, medium dice
12 ounces andouille sausage, medium dice
4 ounces tasso or smoked ham, medium dice
2 large green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and medium dice
3 medium celery stalks, medium dice
1 jalapepo, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
2 bay leaves
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)

Steps:

  • For the spice mix: 1. Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine; set aside. For the jambalaya: 1. Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set aside. 2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed, ovenproof, 7-quart pot or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place about one-third of the chicken pieces in the pot and cook, stirring rarely, until browned all over, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to a large bowl and brown the remaining chicken in 2 more batches; set aside. 3. Remove and discard all but about 1/4 cup of the fat from the pot. Add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the onions, scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions just begin to brown, about 6 minutes. 4. Add the sausage, ham, and half of the reserved spice mix. Stir to coat everything with the spice mix and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, until the meat is browned and the onions are very tender, about 10 minutes. 5. Add the bell peppers, celery, jalapeno, garlic, measured salt, and remaining spice mix. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, until the bell peppers have softened, about 10 minutes. 6. Add the reserved chicken and any accumulated juices, the tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, and the tomato paste. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Add the rice, stock or broth, and bay leaves, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Cover with a tightfitting lid, transfer to the oven, and bake until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Remove the pot to a wire rack and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir to evenly combine the jambalaya, taste, and season with salt as needed. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve.

ANDOUILLE AND CHICKEN JAMBALAYA



ANDOUILLE AND CHICKEN JAMBALAYA image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup oil (bacon grease preferred)
3 c. chopped onions
1 c. chopped bell peppers
3 t. salt
1 ¼ t. cayenne (or 50% less)
1 pound andouille, chorizo, or other smoked sausage (or tasso), cut crosswise into ¼-inch slices
1 ½ pounds boneless white and dark chicken meat cut into 1-inch cubes
3 bay leaves
3 cups medium-grain white rice
6 cups water (add ½ cup more if you deem necessary)
1 cup chopped green onions.

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1 teaspoon of the cayenne. Stirring often, brown the vegetables for about 20 minutes, or until they are caramelized and dark brown (REALLY DARK BROWN, BUT NOT BURNT) in color. Scrape the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen any browned particles. Add the sausage and cook, stirring often for 10 to 15 minutes, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen any browned particles. 2. Season the chicken with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and remaining ¼ teaspoon cayenne. Add the chicken and the bay leaves to the pot. Brown the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned particles. 3. Add the rice and stir for 2 to 3 minutes to coat it evenly. Add the water, stir to combine, and cover. Cook over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes, without stirring, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove the pot from the heat and let stand, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. 4. Stir in the green onions and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make sure there's enough space for all the ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're making a large batch, cook it in batches.
  • Use a good quality Cajun seasoning. This is essential for authentic flavor.
  • Don't skip the Holy Trinity (onion, celery, and bell pepper). This is the base of many Cajun dishes.
  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Cook the chicken and sausage until they're browned. This will help develop the flavor.
  • Add the rice and cook it according to the package directions.
  • Don't stir the jambalaya too much. This will make the rice mushy.
  • Serve the jambalaya immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Chicken and andouille jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, jambalaya is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
