Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (28-ounce; 795g) can peeled whole tomatoes, packed in juice (see note)
About 3 cups (720ml) homemade chicken stock or low-sodium store-bought broth, plus more as needed
1 1/4 pounds (565g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable, canola, or other neutral oil, plus more if needed
3/4 pound (340g) cooked Cajun or Creole sausage, such as andouille or chaurice (or other similar smoked or spiced pork sausage), sliced into thin rounds
1 medium yellow onion (8 ounces; 225g), diced
2 medium green bell peppers (10 ounces total; 280g), stemmed, seeded, and diced
4 celery ribs (6 ounces total; 170g), diced
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon (5ml) tomato paste
1 tablespoon (15ml) Louisiana-style hot sauce, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 bay leaves
2 cups long-grain rice (12 ounces; 370g)
3/4 pound (340g) peeled and deveined shrimp
6 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook, turning, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add sausage to Dutch oven and cook, stirring often, until just starting to darken, about 3 minutes; lower heat and/or add oil at any point to prevent burning. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring and scraping bottom of Dutch oven, until browned bits have come loose and vegetables just begin to turn lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in rice and return to a simmer. Cover with lid and transfer to oven. Bake until liquid is fully absorbed and rice is tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Serve, passing hot sauce at the table for diners to add to taste.

CREOLE "STYLE" CHICKEN & SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA



Creole

I learned this recipe from a friend in Louisiana, it's been a favorite in my house since day one! I've changed it some over the years so I know it's not a traditional recipe, hence the Creole "Style" title! I usually serve it up with some cornbread muffins and sweet tea. Delicious!
