How to Make One-Pot Jambalaya
  1. In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Toss in the diced chicken and sliced sausage. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, stirring occasionally for about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice along with the Cajun seasoning. Mix well to coat the grains in those wonderful spices.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  6. After 20 minutes, gently fold in the peeled shrimp. Cover again and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque.
  7. Once cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a gentle stir before serving to mix in all the deliciousness!
