Jambalaya Recipe

	Alj29 / All my dishes 4 months, 1 week ago This is my husbands favorite dish. I make it very hot, but it can be modified to taste. It can also be made vegetarian, by subbing tofu for the meat, but you may lose a little without the andouille sausage. I serve it over brown rice, but it can be...

Ingredients

1 lb. chicken tenders, or 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

1 package of andouille sausage (this is absolutely the best one to use- I have tried subbing others and nothing else compares)

1 can of diced tomatoes- in the summer I use 10 Roma tomatoes

1 green bell pepper

1 medium purple onion (for the most flavor)

1-2 tbsp. minced garlic or 2 cloves fresh

1 tbsp. Crisco (can sub olive oil)

Cajun seasoning

Cayenne pepper

Italian seasoning

Fresh ground black pepper

Salt (I use Kosher)

Franks Red Hot or Tabasco (it is easier to get out of hand with Tabasco, so I use Franks)

White or brown rice, or pasta of choice

Directions

1. Chop chicken breasts or tenders into bite size morsels

Cut sausage lengthwise then into bite size morsels

Chop up onion and green pepper coarsely

Chop tomatoes if not using canned

Mash garlic if not using minced

Heat Crisco (or olive oil) in a LARGE skillet, preferably Stainless Steel on med-high heat

Add chicken and sausage, as well as some of the salt, black and Cayenne pepper, Cajun and Italian seasoning to taste- be moderate, as the Cayenne pepper and Cajun seasoning get more flavor with the cooking time and you will be adding more

When the chicken and sausage is almost cooked through, remove from pan and set on a plate leaving the drippings in the pan

Add a little more Crisco or olive oil and onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is tender and garlic is browning

Add green pepper and tomatoes (I add a little salt at this point to bring out the flavors)

Pour in some Frank's Red Hot, I use about 1/8 c.

Stir all the ingredients together, and simmer for 5-10 minutes

Add the chicken and sausage to the pan and taste

Add more Cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning as you feel necessary

Simmer for about 15-20 minutes

Serve over rice or pasta, with Franks or Tabasco on the side (I pour some on just before I eat it)

Enjoy!
