Ingredients

1 ½ lbs. chicken cut into ½-inch pieces
4 ½ – 5 cups chicken broth
2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
12 oz. andouille link sausage cut into ½-inch slices
1 ½ tsp. salt, divided
¾ tsp. pepper, divided
1 tsp. thyme, dried
1 tsp. basil, dried
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce gluten free
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
15 oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
6 oz. can tomato paste
2 cups sweet onion, finely chopped
2 ½ cups long grain white rice, rinsed and drained
Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, add 1 tablespoon oil, sausage, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add chicken and keep cooking over medium heat, for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove sausage and chicken from the pot. Set aside.
In the Dutch oven, drizzle another tablespoon of olive oil. And then add onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until vegetables are almost tender. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Place chicken and sausage back into the pot.
In a small bowl, combine remaining all ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt, ½ tsp pepper, thyme, basil and cayenne pepper. Toss to combine.
Add seasoning mix, Worcestershire, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes to the meat and veggies. Stir to combine.
Next, place rice and 4 ½ cup broth in the pot. Stir to completely combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat, cover with a lid, and let jambalaya simmer for 30-40 minutes.
Check on the jambalaya at 25 minutes and see if it needs additional liquid.
Once rice is completely cooked, serve immediately with fresh parsley.
