Earlier this month, I received a free voucher for Johnsonville Premium Fully Cooked Dinner Sausages from BzzAgent, and I knew right away what flavor I wanted to try. They have 5 different varieties, but I am an Andouille fanatic, so that’s what I headed straight for when we got to Kroger.
When I got home, I logged on to AllRecipes.com, one of my favorite sites for cooking inspiration. Well, you know, besides Pinterest of course! 😉 I found an easy jambalaya recipe that I could start with, but of course I modified it along the way to suit my family’s tastes.
Easy Cajun Jambalaya
Ingredients:
1 Tbs olive oil
1 lb Johnsonville Premium Andouille sausage, diced
They like to help in the kitchen, can you tell? 🙂
2 10 oz cans of chicken breast meat, drained
2 onions, diced
2 green bell peppers, diced
3 ribs of celery, diced
1/4 cup minced garlic
1 Tbs onion powder
1 Tbs Cajun seasoning
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (more if you like it spicy!)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 cups of uncooked rice
12 cups of chicken broth (I used water and bouillon cubes)
6 bay leaves
1 1/2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Texas Pete hot sauce
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a stock pot over medium high heat.
2. Saute sausage for five minutes until browned.
3. Add in chicken, onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic.
4. Season with Cajun seasoning, cayenne, onion powder, salt and pepper.
5. Mix well and cook until onions start to soften.
6. Add in rice, chicken broth, and bay leaves.
7. Bring to a boil, then simmer while covered for 20-25 minutes.
8. Mix in Worcestershire and hot sauce.
9. Remove bay leaves and serve.

This isn’t a traditional version, but it sure is tasty! Have you tried to make jambalaya at home before?

I am having that tonight! (Although my version will be slightly modified because I could not find that sausage at either WalMart or Publix and could not find cajun seasoning. The creole seasoning that I have is too high in sodium, so I will have to make my own mixture.)
This sounds and looks so delicious!!! might have to give this a try.
Yum! Thanks for sharing.
