Jambalaya-Style Chicken and Sausage
This one-pot Jambalaya-Style Chicken and Sausage is packed with bold cajun flavors. I like to serve it over rice instead of cooking the rice in the stock pot so it stays nice and fluffy – not mushy. It’s an easy dish you can make ahead, keep in the fridge for a couple of days, or freeze – and just cook fresh rice when you’re ready to serve.Â
- Use either mild or hot for the diced tomatoes and chile peppers.
- Use your choice of sausage – I used Country Pleasin’ Original Smoked Sausage.
- You can substitute the chicken- chicken breasts or thighs.
- I love this smooth, touchable lids can opener for opening cans, so that you won’t risk cutting your fingers.Â
Cook the rice separately in a rice cooker, or on the stovetop.
