This Cajun jambalaya recipe is made in the traditional way but with a little less heat. I have always loved Cajun food but my wife doesn't like spicy food. Everyone loved this recipe and I hope you will too.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
8 ounces kielbasa, diced
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
½ cup diced celery
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups uncooked white rice
4 cups chicken stock
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Step by step
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and kielbasa; sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Season with cayenne, onion powder, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add rice and stir in chicken stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce.
