Quick Cajun Jambalaya
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 (10 ounce) can chunk chicken breast, drained and flaked
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups instant brown rice
Instructions
1
Heat a large pot of water to its boiling point, then bring it to a rolling boil. Boil the sausage until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically between 8 to 12 minutes; once cooked, drain the sausage.
2
In a separate pot, heat canola oil over medium-high heat until it reaches its smoking point. Then sauté the sausage, celery, bell pepper, and onion in the hot oil until the vegetables begin to lose their crunch, approximately 5 minutes.
3
To add flavor to the mixture, stir in your chicken and Cajun seasoning. Pour in the broth and tomatoes, then bring the mixture to a boil; add cooked rice to the pot and stir until it's well combined. Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid.
4
After 5 minutes, remove the lid and stir the mixture. Continue to simmer until the rice has fully absorbed the liquid and is tender, approximately 5 minutes more.
