Me-oh My-uh Jambalaya

⁽¹⁾

A flavorful rice dish combining chicken and smoked sausage, this is a Cajun brown Jambalaya, not the Creole red Jamba. No tomatoes or green pepper. This is the best Jambalaya you'll eat, I ga-ron-tee!

Ingredients

1	pound	andouille	sliced 1/4 in. bites
2	tablespoon	parsley leaves	chopped
2	tablespoon	corn oil	or butter
3	cups	long grain rice	washed
6	cups	chicken stock, fat-free
2	tablespoons	worcestershire sauce
1	teaspoon	thyme	3 sprigs of fresh is better
1	teaspoon	salt
1	teaspoon	garlic	minced
1/2	teaspoon	cayenne pepper
1	teaspoon	black pepper
1/2	cups	scallions, spring or green onions	diced
2	cups	celery	diced
2	cups	onions	diced
1	pound	chicken thighs	skinned, boned, diced bite size
1	tablespoon	cajun seasoning

Directions

Sprinkle cajun season on chicken meat and toss, set aside. Pour oil in cast iron dutch oven (6 to 7 qts.) or similar sized pot, heat oil on med/hi. Add andouille and saute. add chicken, cook for 10 mins. or until the chicken is done. Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove all the “graton”, the little dregs that flavor the rice and give it its distinctive rustic brown color.

Add onions and celery, cook 5 mins., again scraping the bottom to loosen all that flavor, then add all spices, worcestershire, and cook 5 mins. more.

When onions look cooked, add g. onion, and the chicken stock. Turn heat to HI, bring to a boil, then cook at a rolling boil for 10 mins. Add rice, stir to make sure you incorporate rice and it doesn't get stuck on the bottom. Turn down a bit to med/hi, cover with lid, and cook for about another 10 mins. stirring occasionally. Turn heat down to low simmer and cover with tight fitting lid. Let sit for 25 mins. without opening lid.

I finish mine off in the over for about 20 - 30 mins. at 300. To finish, give it a stir and re-cover over with lid to let it cool a bit and absorb all the juices.

Reviews

I just tried this recipe, used more garlic, and used chicken breast instead of chicken thighs, so great, I can't wait giving it a five stars. Excellent.
