One Pot Jambalaya Recipes

ONE POT JAMBALAYA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a crockpot or large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sausage and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sausage is lightly browned. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the crockpot. Add bell peppers, jalapeño, onion and garlic. Sauté for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened.
• Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, cayenne, bay leaf, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is nearly cooked through, stirring every 5 minutes or so along the way so that the rice does not burn.
• Add the shrimp, ham, okra, and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink. Stir in the chicken and sausage, and remove and discard the bay leaf.
• Taste season the jambalaya with salt, pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm.

ONE-POT JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 1 T olive oil and add the sliced sausage and 1/2 of the grill seasoning. Saute on medium-high until the sausage gets some color on it, then remove it and set it aside. Add in the chicken (adding more oil if necessary) and the rest of the grill seasoning and saute until the chicken is browned but not cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Add the butter and a bit more olive oil to the pot and mix in the peppers, onions, celery and jalapenos. Saute on medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the cayenne, paprika, and red pepper flakes and saute for an additional minute to toast the spices.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the thyme, basil, parsley, oregano, and sugar. Simmer, partially-covered, over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Return the sausage and chicken to the pot. Stir in the rice. Cook for an additional 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired.
