EASY JAMBALAYA RECIPE



EASY JAMBALAYA RECIPE image

Our quick and easy jambalaya recipe is a flavorful and filling dish all made in one pot - perfect for busy nights! This comforting, Cajun dish calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts alongside smoked sausage, two ingredients necessary to lend deep richness to the rice. Combined with sautéed onions and Cajun seasoning, and then mixed together with chicken broth and stewed tomatoes, homemade jambalaya is comfort food at its best. While jambalaya is a hearty meal on its own, we love to serve it with homemade cornbread, creamed corn or a simple side salad for a complete spread. For a twist on this recipe, try our other easy jambalaya recipe with sausage and a medley of veggies. Craving more bold spices and Southern-inspired favorites?

QUICK AND EASY - BUT DELICIOUS - JAMBALAYA!



Quick and Easy - but Delicious - Jambalaya! image

Even though I'm a born-and-raised Arizonan, both of my grandparents are from southern Louisiana. As a result, I grew up eating a lot of good, homecooked Cajun food!! This isn't a family recipe, but it rivals any I've had. (It's a combination of several recipes I found online.) I find myself craving it once every couple of weeks...luckily my boyfriend loves it too! :-) This can be made with 2 pounds of chicken, or 1 lb chicken + 1 lb smoked sausage. The chicken / shrimp is our favorite way to make it, and the chicken / smoked sausage is a close second.

QUICK AND EASY JAMBALAYA



Quick and Easy Jambalaya image

This recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy jambalaya without spending too much time in the kitchen. It has just enough spice to give it a kick without making it too spicy. I use turkey kielbasa to make this recipe a little more healthy. I also suggest making your own home-mixed Cajun seasoning to avoid too many unnecessary additives.
