Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 teaspoons shortening
  • 1 cup yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup green pepper (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 1/3 to 4 pound whole chicken (cut into pieces)
  • 2 pounds Italian sausage (hot)
  • 2 cans (14 1/2 ounce) diced tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups cooked rice (long-grain)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Melt shortening in a large/huge saucepan over medium heat.

  • Step 2: Cook chicken pieces until brown on all sides and cooked about half way through, around 20 minutes or so.

  • Step 3: Remove and add onion, green pepper, celery and garlic.

  • Step 4: Cook slowly stirring now and again until onions are tender.

  • Step 5: Add sausage and cook 10 min more.

  • Step 6: Return chicken and add all remaining ingredients, EXCEPT rice, and stir together well.

  • Step 7: Cover and simmer for 30 min stirring now and again.

  • Step 8: Remove cover and continue to cook until broth cooks down a bit-you don't want it too thick as the rice will soak up the juice.

  • Step 9: Serve up the rice in bowls and ladle the Jambalaya on top, and offer more cayenne or Tabasco at the table.
