Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya


This recipe makes quite a lot but its great the next day


- 2 small chicken breast (cut in bite siced pieces)

- 3/4 ring smoked sausage (sliced)

- 2 cups of rice

- 2 stalks celery (I was out so I used 1 zucchini)

- 1 pepper (color of your choice)

- 1 small onion (I skip that one)

- 3/4 jar tomatoe paste

- 1 can chicken broth

- 4 fresh tomatoes

- creole seasoning (or paprika, pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, parsley)


Fry the chicken until the outside is done, then add the sausage and cook until chicken is done. Add some creole seasoning while frying.


Set meat aside and cook rice. In the meantime chop celery and peppers and add to the pan. The oil from the sausage is great to fry the veggies in and gives them flavor. Fry shortly and then add tomatoe paste and let it cook down with the veggies, brown slightly. Now add chicken broth .


Cut tomatoes into chunks and add to the mix. Now put the meat back in. Add rice, mix well and let it cook until liquid is absorbed. Add hot sauce if you like it spicier
