As the character of the cartoon "Ratatouille" stated: "Everyone can cook!" And this is not a joke, because if you have a desire to join the high art of cooking, everything is in your hands. Even if a sandwich was your signature dish up to this point, the road to the world of great cuisine is not yet closed.
**Ingredients:**
Gather 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces), 1 pound of Andouille sausage (sliced), 1 large onion (diced), 1 bell pepper (diced), 2 celery stalks (diced), 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 cups long-grain rice, 4 cups chicken broth, salt, and black pepper.
**1. Prepare Ingredients:**
Chop the vegetables, slice the sausage, and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking.
**2. Sauté Chicken and Sausage:**
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the chicken and sausage over medium-high heat until golden. Remove excess fat, if any.
**3. Sauté Vegetables:**
Add onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.
**4. Add Spices:**
Stir in thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes to release the flavors.
**5. Add Tomatoes:**
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
**6. Add Rice:**
Add the rice to the pot, stirring to coat it with the mixture. Allow it to toast for a minute or two.
**7. Pour in Broth:**
Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
**8. Adjust Seasoning:**
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Jambalaya should have a flavorful, slightly spicy kick.
**9. Rest:**
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat, keep it covered, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the flavors meld.
**10. Serve:**
Fluff the jambalaya with a fork and serve hot. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
Enjoy the rich and hearty flavors of this classic Louisiana dish! Jambalaya makes for a satisfying and delicious one-pot meal.
