Super
Easy Jambalaya
Jambalaya
has always been one of my favorite dishes... when I go to a restaurant, it would
be my #1 choice to order if the restaurant offers Jambalaya. But every
restaurant has their own recipe, they taste different in some way... some are
way too salty, made me feel like they got the salt for free that's they put so
much salt in the dish; some chicken came out TOO DRY, and having the dry chicken
stuck in between my teeth was very uncomfortable...
You don't have to go to a restaurant to have a restaurant quality Jambalaya, you can make it in your own kitchen! and I can guarantee you... this recipe is WAY BETTER than the restaurants, yes, I am very proud of this recipe!

This
recipe is good for 4 servings, I did not make this Jambalaya with rice
because... rice will get mushy and soggy if they soaked in the sauce for too
long, and what if you don't feel like eating your Jambalaya for your next
meal...? don't be so restricted with your dish, Jambalaya is is good with Rice,
Pasta, or you could even eat it as a dip...
try it, cook it, eat it, share it, love it!!!
Ingredients:
* 2 tablespoons of butter
* 2 andouille sausages; I used Louisiana Brand Sausages from Fresh & Easy; diced
* 1/2 cup of onion; diced
* 1 medium bell pepper; diced
* 1 stalk of celery; diced
* 3 chicken drumsticks (about 1.5 cup); diced
* 3 gloves of garlic; minced
* 1 teaspoon of parsley flakes
* 2 cups of chicken stock
* 2 cans of 8oz tomato sauce
* 1/2 teaspoon of dry chilli flakes
* 1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder
* salt; to taste
Directions:
* place the chicken in a pot that is deep enough to hold the chicken drumsticks + enough water to cover them; bring the liquid to boil, then turn off the heat.
* do not throw away the liquid because you will need to use it later; the chicken do not have to cook all the way through at this point.
* remove the chicken from liquid and let it cool; dice the chicken into bite size.
* medium heat; melt the butter in a medium pot.
* add chilli flakes, garlic, onion; saute till aromatic.
* add sausages, bell pepper, celery, chicken, parsley; saute for about 2~3mins.
* add the tomato sauce and the stock we made earlier from the poached chicken; bring to boil.
* add chilli powder & salt to taste.
* lower the heat to medium, uncovered, cook for another 15~20min.
