Flavorful American Jambalaya with Andouille Sausage

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
2. 2 Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
3. 3 Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
4. 4 Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. 5 Return the sausage to the pot and add the drained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, uncooked rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, oregano, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
6. 6 Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
7. 7 Add the shrimp to the pot, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
8. 8 Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. 9 Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning to taste.
10. 10 Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a dash of hot sauce if desired.
