This jambalaya recipe offers a simpler, less spicy take on the classic. Onion, bell pepper and smoked sausage are sautéed before cooked chicken, rice, beans and broths are added. The dish is finished on the stovetop until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, using a dry onion soup mix for depth of flavour instead of canned soup.

Ingredients

1 large onion, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups chopped chicken (cooked)
3 cups long-grain rice, uncooked
1 (15 ounce) can red beans, drained & rinsed
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans French onion soup, undiluted
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
2 -3 teaspoons creole seasoning
2 -3 teaspoons hot sauce
fresh fresh cilantro stem

Method

Cook the diced onion, green bell pepper and sliced smoked sausage in the olive oil in a Dutch oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sausage browns.
Add the chopped chicken along with the uncooked rice, drained red beans, chicken broth, beef broth, creole seasoning and hot sauce to the pot.
Place the covered Dutch oven into an oven preheated to 350° and bake for 40 minutes, giving everything a stir after 30 minutes have passed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, if you like.
