QUICK JAMBALAYA



Quick Jambalaya image

This recipe makes quick work out of jambalaya by using leftover rice, and it tastes great with freshly cooked grains, too. To make this meal meatless, use vegan andouille sausage or stick with pork sausage, if you prefer. Either option, along with creole seasoning and the classic trinity of creole cooking - onion, celery and green bell pepper - result in a dish that is unmistakably Louisianan. Though many jambalaya recipes skip tomatoes, this version uses a blend of tomato paste and diced tomatoes to add bulk, and an acidity that helps lighten up the otherwise hearty one-pot meal.

Categories     grains and rice, main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
Salt and black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons sliced scallions

Time 1h22m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic salt

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 ounces sliced pepperoni
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
