A hearty and flavorful Chicken Sausage Jambalaya featuring tender chicken, smoky sausage, and a medley of vegetables and spices simmered with rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz smoked chicken sausage, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add sausage to the pot and cook until lightly browned. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onion, bell pepper, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add diced tomatoes, rice, chicken broth, paprika, thyme, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
  6. Return chicken and sausage to the pot. Stir to combine.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25–30 minutes or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  8. Fluff with a fork and garnish with green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add hot sauce or additional cayenne.
  • Use brown rice for a healthier twist, adjusting cook time as needed.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheats well.
