How To Make chicken ham sausage jambalaya
-
Step 1In a medium bowl, add tomatoes without the juice (reserved) and crush with hands. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the tomatoes in another bowl and reserve this juice as well; set aside.
-
Step 2In a large saucepan over medium, heat oil. When shimmer, add onion and celery; sauté for 3 minutes. Add red pepper and cook for 3 minutes as well. Add garlic and sauté for only a minute. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. At this stage, it might need more oil to prevent from burning.
-
Step 3Stir in ham and sausage before adding the rest of the ingredients; rice, reserved tomato juice, broth, crushed tomatoes, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, basil, gumbo file, hot sauced, sugar and jalapeño peppers. Stir well and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 to 18 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat, stir it and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
