  1. Heat up 1 tbspn of peanut oil in a large heavy pot (aka Dutch Oven) over medium heat. Season up the chicken and sausage pieces with your Cajun seasoning. Saute sausage until it is browned.

  2. In the same pot, saute bell peppers, onion, celery and garlic until all tender. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and kick it up with red and black pepper, salt, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and file powder(ground sassasfras leaves). Stir in the sausage and chicken. Cook it up for about 10 minutes remembering to stir every once in awhile.
  3. Finally stir in rice and chicken broth. Bring this to a boil then turn down the heat and let simmer for 25 minutes (the liquid should be absorbed).

Being a New Orleanian (now a Houstonian) I'm hard to please with creole food. I found this jambalaya to be really terrific! Easy to make, very, very tasty and I had everything in my pantry already! Thanks!


Yeah, I just made this again. Very good.


I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THIS!
