OVEN BAKED JAMBALAYA

This is really easy and very tasty. My family likes recipes that have a big flavor blast - and this one delivers. I use Emeril's Bayou Blast seasoning to spice it up (we like it pretty spicy). It is great with a big green salad and a loaf of french bread for a complete meal. If you like to cook ahead you can do what I do - triple this recipe and bake in a big roasting pan -- then freeze in zip-loc bags for a super easy weekday supper. Just cut off bag, dump in glass bowl and microwave until hot.

Ingredients

2 cups uncle ben converted rice
1/2 cup margarine, cut up
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can campbell French onion soup, undiluted
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can campbell beef broth, undiluted
8 ounces canned tomato sauce
1 bunch green onion, and tops chopped
2 bay leaves
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
3 uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

I use 2- 3 Tablespoons of Bayou Blast to spice this up (recipe#31001).
If you don't have any on hand you may use another cajun spice such as Tony Chachere's or use a teaspoon or so of red pepper and black pepper.
Just season according to your family's taste.
Cut chicken and sausage into bite-sized pieces.
Mix together all ingredients in roaster.
Cover.
Bake at 350 degrees in oven for 1 hour& 15 minutes to 1 hour& 30 minutes.
Stir once after 45 minutes.
You must use a converted rice LIKE Uncle Ben's (you can use other brands as long as they are CONVERTED RICE).
Do not substitute or you will get sticky, mushy results.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a robust Cajun seasoning blend will make all the difference in the taste of your jambalaya.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you try to cook too much jambalaya in one pan, it will end up being mushy and undercooked. Use a large pan or Dutch oven to give the ingredients plenty of room to cook.
Cook the rice separately: Cooking the rice separately from the other ingredients will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
Don't stir the jambalaya too much: Stirring the jambalaya too much will break up the rice and make it mushy. Stir it gently just a few times during the cooking process.
Let the jambalaya rest before serving: Letting the jambalaya rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the liquid.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked jambalaya is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a weekend party. With its combination of flavorful ingredients and simple cooking method, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give oven-baked jambalaya a try!
