One Pan Jambalaya

Experience rustic soul of Louisiana with this classic twist on Cajun jambalaya—a true one-pot wonder that focuses on rich flavor. Smoky Andouille sausage and savory chicken combine with sautéed onion, bell pepper, and celery. The rice simmers directly in the aromatic stock and bold, peppery spices to transform into perfectly distinct, flavor-saturated grains. Finish with a touch of fresh green onion for a dish that offers a smoky complexity that’s pure comfort in a bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon oil (vegetable or canola oil)
  • 1 pound andouille sausage* , cut into ¼ inch thick slices
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts , cut into bite-size pieces
