EASY JAMBALAYA RECIPE
Our quick and easy jambalaya recipe is a flavorful and filling dish all made in one pot - perfect for busy nights! This comforting, Cajun dish calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts alongside smoked sausage, two ingredients necessary to lend deep richness to the rice. Combined with sautéed onions and Cajun seasoning, and then mixed together with chicken broth and stewed tomatoes, homemade jambalaya is comfort food at its best. While jambalaya is a hearty meal on its own, we love to serve it with homemade cornbread, creamed corn or a simple side salad for a complete spread. For a twist on this recipe, try our other easy jambalaya recipe with sausage and a medley of veggies. Craving more bold spices and Southern-inspired favorites?

EASY JAMBALAYA
I went to the Rainforest Cafe in Chicago a few years ago, and happened to order the Jambalaya. I had never had Jambalaya, and from the menu it looked a good choice, but I can honestly say, It was the best meal I have ever eaten. I have tried to make this dish many times, and have now (I think) simplified and perfected it. As an Englishman, no-one over here has even heard of Jambalaya, but I have made this dish for lots of friends, who all absolutely love it, and I swear it is the closest I have come to that fabled recipe. It is a cheat in that I use some store-bought items, but if you know how to substitute with fresh produce then let me know. I hope you all enjoy this meal as much as I do!

Steps:
- Make the shrimp broth: Remove the shells and tails from the shrimp and put the shells and tails in a medium saucepan. Clean and devein the shrimp and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Add the peppercorns, the intact onion piece, large celery chunks, 3 crushed garlic cloves and 2 bay leaves to the saucepan and cover with 5 cups of water. Bring to a high simmer and then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook until the water has reduced by about a third, 20 to 30 minutes. Let the broth cool completely and then strain (you should have about 3 cups. If you have less than 3 cups, add enough water to make up the difference).
- Make the jambalaya: Heat the oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and use a whisk to constantly stir until the mixture is toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, andouille, tomato paste, the chopped onion, celery and garlic, the remaining 2 bay leaves and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes (add splashes of shrimp broth or water if the mixture sticks at all). Add the rice and stir to coat.
- Pour in the remaining broth, crushed tomatoes, thyme, cayenne, half the scallion greens and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Adjust the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover and continue to cook until the rice is tender and the shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the bay leaves.
- Sprinkle the top of the jambalaya with the parsley and remaining scallion greens. Serve with hot sauce.

CHEF JOHN'S SAUSAGE & SHRIMP JAMBALAYA
While true jambalaya is really more of a thicker rice stew than a soup, it's one of those dishes that more stock can be added to easily make it into a soup recipe. Serve garnished with green onion.
