Made Jambalaya for dinner

The recipe is pretty generic, but I'll post here anyway 😉

2 bell peppers, diced

2 onions, diced

4-6 celery ribs, sliced (or diced if you prefer)

Bulb of garlic, minced

1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes (I use 1.5 lbs)

12 oz. Andouille sausage, cut into rounds (I used 14 ounce kielbasa, use whatever tbh)

2 Tbsp tomato paste

1.5 cups of rice

3 cups chicken broth

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning

A few bay leaves

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add oil to large pot or Dutch oven (I used 2 Tbsp bacon grease) over med-high heat. When the oil is hot add bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic to pot. Heat until fragrant, 3-5 minutes.

Add the chicken, sausage, and tomato paste.

Stir with the other ingredients and break up the tomato paste. Add the white rice and stir until lightly toasted.

Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaf.

Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, or until rice is cooked thoroughly and the liquid has been completely absorbed. Stir every 10 minutes or so to prevent rice from sticking to pan. (I usually let it stand on the stovetop covered with the heat off for 10 additional minutes, or else the rice comes out al denté 😬)
