Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya - EASY One Pot Dinner

[@SipandFeast]

I linked Tony Chachere's Creole spice and my homemade Cajun spice in the description. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

[@katyas-mom]

They're the best unless you make your own.

[@GaryMitchellJr]

Hi. It is pronounced “sash-a-ray’s.”

[@cindyms.1237]

Thank you

[@63ah1275]

My problem with Tony Chachere's and Slap ya Mama is by the time you get enough spice, you've got too much salt.

[@Amber311]

Tony Chachere's (pronounced sash-ah-rees) comes in a no salt version that as a Louisiana girl, I prefer! You can add the spice to your liking and not worry about how salty it's getting.

[@kellyclark2187]

Bring it to a boil, turn the fire to lowest temp, cover and set a timer for 20 minutes. Don’t lift the lid. Turn the fire off at 20 minutes and rest it for 10 to 15 minutes. I have never burned may jambalaya. Learned from my mother, grandmother. Whole family. It works.

[@purleybaker]

This is my experience as well. Lifting the lid isn't ideal.

Worked perfectly, thanks for this.

[@danieldumas7361]

Almost forgot.....Thank's a Million! Was trying to figure out when to add the shrimp without overcooking it, and then I remembered your post...I added the shrimp & killed the heat...The timing was perfect!

[@sylvaindupuis5595]

I'm a French Canadian from Montreal. The best Jambalaya I ate was in Ghent in Belgium! Yes a Jambalaya in Belgium! It was in a small restaurant near the castle, it was late and it was the only open place at that hour. The cook was from New York and learned how to do it from her mother that came from Louisiana. While I was eating, there was a saxophone player and a singer doing a great version of Summertime. So, maybe the jambalaya was not so exceptional, but with the memory of being in Belgium and the music, it is still the best one for me.

[@patfornies776]

Long time Louisiana resident here married to a great Cajun cook. We don’t leave the tails on the shrimp. Take them off. Been enjoying your video. Keep up the good work!

Imagine having a dad that cooks like this. His son is lucky! I'm 37 years old, are you looking to adopt more kids?

[@dee_dee_place]

Jim- Of all the internet chefs, your instructions are the easiest to follow & the results are always on point. I appreciate your videos so much because I have never enjoyed cooking & now it is like second nature to me. The first of your recipes that I made was chicken parmesan, & it was the first time it came out perfectly. Coincidentally, I made it last night for dinner. I am absolutely hooked on your stuffed peppers, beef barley soup/stew (it is exactly like my Mom's), & linguine with canned clams. Thank you & Tara again for all your wonderful recipes. I look forward to more of them. Send my regards to James & Sammy.

[@patrickdobbels2342]

I use chicken stock too. If you get shrimp with the shells. Peel them and make homemade stock with them instead. With water salt and a bay leaf. Strain it right in the pot. Please try it.

[@jongibbins345]

Love the family team work.

Since they are from Louisiana, I followed the Duck Dynasty recipe for Jambalaya. Basically the same as this one, but the only difference is once you have everything in the pot (except the rice) bring to a boil, take off the heat and add the rice. Stir the pot every 3 minutes 10 times. Turned out great!!!

[@danielmorton9003]

I used to use Tony Chachere, and I still keep some around, but I found the Morton's spices are where it's at if you can get them near you. They have both a Cajun and Creole. Best part is, all of their spice blends are salt free so you can add salt as needed.

[@chongseitmooi2593]

🎉 wonderful al in one pot recipe. If ur using rice cooker then is so much easier on tis dish

[@jongibbins345]

Jim. You got to wash your rice my friend in a pot about 4-5 times swapping out the water until it’s runs clear agitating each time. Then you will have perfect fluffy rice.

[@gordonliddy9418]

I love the Canadian dinner jacket.

[@Formaldehydex]

I just made this with the rice in and shrimp out. Delicious!

[@sbsphotographer]

Please note that this is coming from a real cajun; You done good 👍🏻 Some ingredients are even hard to get unless you shop from a boat. We have a huge hunting and make do culture… I wonder how most subscribers would feel about snake or gator… trust me those are the everyday options I won’t mention the others… Don’t know about the green onions? Andouille sausage is a must though. Things I would be interested in seeing you take a shot at are King Cake, Boudin, and real Dirty Rice with chicken livers… A personal favorite is Fried Catfish Smothered In Crawfish Etouffee… but then you would have the keys to World 🌎 Domination… It made me miss home, only thing missing was you didn’t have a drink in your other hand… Thank You 🙏🏻 You and Laissez les bons temps rouler

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

LOL, I've had gator and it was delicious!!! Nope, never, no and nada will I ever eat snake... hell no. But gator was really good.)

[@dee_dee_place]

I've eaten gator & it's too chewy for me. I heard snake was delicious but I've never had the opportunity to try any. I love rabbit & venison. I make fried catfish but I've never made the crawfish etouffee with it. I'll have to try it. I've never had Boudin but in my culture, we have something similar, stuffed derma, which is stuffed cow's intestines- yummy. I definitely want the recipe for dirty rice & chicken livers.

[@lilrowbear]

Real Cajun jambalaya doesn’t have the tomatoes or shrimp. But it was a pretty good job for someone who didn’t grow up down here.

[@marybretired]

@@dee_dee_placeif the gator was tough it was probably overcooked. Think squid - similar cooking challenge.

[@crystalrowan]

Gator totally works - similar flavor but totally different texture (which I actually love). Not cajun, but Floridian and close enough to the gulf coast to be cajun adjacent. We love the swamp critters. :)

[@andrewaway]

I usually use Portuguese Chorizo. Great spicy flavour. I love Jambalaya.

[@jbjacobs9514]

Sounds yummy and even spicier!

[@dohmarau]

I've never seen Andouille here in Australia so I've used Polish Sausage/Torunska which works well. Its a smoked pork sausage

[@annchovy6]

This is the funniest thing, because a few days ago I thought how you surely had a jambalaya video, but you didn’t- it was only gumbo I was thinking of. And now here you are!

I'm from the deep south, not far from New Orleans. Honest to God people have been shot and killed over disagreements about how to make jambalaya. This comes close but technically it would be Creole jambalaya, as Cajun jambalaya doesn't include tomatoes. I'd also add either a half teaspoon of file' powder or some okra for thickening. Overall good job though.

[@StarTraveler649]

Okra doesn't go in jambalaya. :)

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

⁠I am also from the Deep South and I put both okra and file powder in gumbo but I have never put them in jambalaya. Okra and file powder, in addition to flavor, are used for thickening, which is why they are more traditionally used in gumbo and I guess why I have never seen them in jambalaya. To each their own. 😊I am sure it’s delicious either way and I would not turn it down. 😀

[@jeanniebrooks]

That’s like me: I use file powder & okra. You have to be careful not to overcook the okra or it is slimy….

I know you’re a great chef Sir. When I want my rice to not stick, I either half cook it separately and pour out the starch, or I add ghee/oil while it cooks and let it kind of fry initially. ❤

Great tip and thanks!

Nice work as always, Jim! I've used 'Slap Ya Mama', but I agree... Always better to make your own rubs and seasonings. I have dollar store mason jars just for that!

Paul Prudhomme was on PBS in Louisiana when I was a kid. He baked his jambalaya. The rice comes out perfect but I also use zatarains rice which isn’t a sticky rice.

[@STV-H4H]

This is a flashback to ‘12 when I first had jambalaya in the NOLA land and again recreating it at home. The rice stuck to the bottom can often be the most delicious part of the dish. Caramelized, crispy and tender at the same time. I have to try your recipe, it’s been ages, I’d forgotten how simple this recipe was. ❤ Reminded also, I need to make paella, that’s the next one you should make, I’d love to see how you do it.

[@The_Timinator]

The Spaniards love the burnt Rice in Paella too, personally I don't like either.

[@jeffreychandler8418]

yeah the desire to remove all stickage made me sad. The soccarat is SO good

[@jeanniebrooks]

I can’t think of a single dish that would be more controversial than paella! I would not recommend that Jim make it and put his video online. Don’t do paella unless you are a Spaniard, live in Spain, have a vey hot brick oven, and an authentic paella (that’s the name of the pan.) I’ve made it for years, and very satisfactorily to MY liking, and satisfying MY liking is all I care about, but a Spaniard would probably be all over it and lose their minds! Don’t even think about making a KZbin cooking video making paella unless you meet the above requirements!

[@jeanniebrooks]

@@The_TiminatorIt’s supposed to be crunchy, crispy, but not burnt. That’s the sweet spot. And it’s hard to get right while also getting all the other ingredients right, neither over or under done. That’s the trick! That takes practice & experience, the right rice, the right amount of liquid, and the right timing in staging the additions. Takes practice.

[@The_Timinator]

@@jeanniebrooks I know, but since I only make Jambalaya or Paella once a year, I doubt I'll ever really get it "right" 😏

[@sadatdelavega]

You gotta brown that andouille first before that chicken, that way you brown the chicken in the sausage fat. Taste is crazy that way.

Absolutely!

[@andrewpowe6260]

Maybe an odd alternative, but once I tried using Linguica sausage and had great success with it. Tony Chachere does offer a no salt version easily found at Walmart that's awesome too. Coincidentally I stared at a box of Zatarain's jambalaya last night. Now I know I need to make it from scratch. Thank you for this recipe!

[@copywriter2001]

Sounds good, actually. I like to use Spanish Chorizo in mine. Jambalaya started out as Paella when New Orleans was Spanish, so it works.

How did I miss this 9 months ago? That's OK, I need it now for Mardi Gras - well, I'm a little bit early but I'm getting ready.

Next time, try the kielbasa. I love jambalaya and eat it often. My friend Al shared a batch with kielbasa and I was shocked how good it is. Trust me, as an alternate recipe... totally worth a try.

[@cinemaocd1752]

In the winter I roast a whole chicken a couple of times a month. I make stock out of the frame and save the leftovers for jambalaya. It's one of my family's favorites. Lately I've been cheating for a weeknight version and using a box jambalaya kit that has parboiled rice and some spices. I add holy trinity (onion, celery green pepper) and meats to the kit. I think the difference between a good jambalaya and a great one is in the stock. Also in my longer recipe I cook it in the oven at 325 for about an hour. I think the rice gets more toasted. You get those nice crispy bits mixed in. Even on the stove top I don't stir at all until it's done. Also I think leaving it for 5 or 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven allows the pan to cool enough to let the bottom of the rice release a bit. Then I stir. I'm so glad Sip and Feast has a version of this recipe. I can't wait to give it a try!

I can never get the rice quite right so I learned to cook this without rice and with red beans (so essentially red beans and sausage), and plate that up with some white rice. Works a charm, especially if you don't thicken it too much, and ladle enough broth to coat the rice nicely.

[@brianchristian7293]

Gonna definitely try this, and I'll make the homemade seasoning, too!

[@crystalrowan]

Coming from someone who LOVES shrimp, I never leave the tails on in this kind of dish. I love peel and eat shrimp and I can peel those puppies FAST, but I feel like stopping a dish that I'm eating with a fork to pull of the tail is just weird, lol. But I will admit it looks nicer for pictures. :)

Hey Jim. When I took a class at the New Orleans school of cooking with Kevin Belton this version with the tomatoes is the Creole , Jambalaya while the Cajun version is brown, and starts with a dark roux, then the trinity, andouille, chicken and shrimp. Tony Cachere's seasoning is a bit too heavy on salt for my taste, I make my own blend, or use Paul Prudhomme's. I met Paul once and he was a really sweet guy.

Paul Prudhomme was a legend. I was friends with one of his chefs and she always spoke very highly about him. Best cookbook I ever bought was one of his original, early ones. My favorite meatloaf is from that cookbook, Cajun Meatloaf, although I do use about half the cayenne instead of the full amount.

[@kwonwaguespack5739]

Also from the region (just outside NOLA) and also think this is a pretty good version of what locals do. I'm in Texas now and will say that the Polish swojska sausage is indistinguishable from andouille in recipes if you're close to a Polish grocer. It's far closer than supermarket andouille. I'm still not a fan of throwing shrimp into chicken and sausage things, but I can't imagine it hurts

[@therealunclassified]

Johnsonsville makes an andouille and can find it at shop rite and walmart as well i believe, and also smithville makes one thats also sold at both places, i believe. Then more authenic considering would be zaterains and you can find that at acme. They also make a smoked sausage. I like all 3 brands. All 3 brands taste different, the zaterains taste the most distinctive. The smoked sausage has the sane ingrediant as the andouille. This is for people in nj, so it might be the same in other north eastern states. I definitely suggest getting one of them 3 brands. Or you can order authentic andouille online.

If you have a problem with hot spots or burning in your dutch oven, you can place the dutch oven in a cast iron skillet to diffuse the heat from the burner. It helps prevent scorching.

It is pronounced: Sash-ah-Ree! It’s one of those Cajun French weird-isms as in French it would be pronounced: Shah-Cher! You do a pretty good job for a “Yankee” 😂 I prefer to go from scratch with the spices. Raw shrimp are added toward the end like a paella on top and steamed. I’ll use 1/3 shrimp stock and 2/3 chicken stock and NO water! Your color and liquid ratio is spot on. Bravo on the shrimp at the end!

[@timothylong3722]

Looks delicious and you've presented the steps very well. My only question is why leave the tails on the shrimp for a dish like this? I know there is flavor in there, and maybe you'd leave them on if you're sauteeing them separately as you did here. But I don't understand the choice to make diners pick them off in the finished product.

[@michaelwest9311]

Whatever site told you hot dogs were an option needs to be quarantined. Any beef or pork SMOKED sausage will do as a substitute. Chicken or turkey get very close to cheap bologna and yes I will eat cheap bologna happily just not as a replacement for sausage. Add crustaceans and mollusks to your liking but fish will fall apart and cuts of meat will be extremely tough in most of these LA one pot dishes. Save those for other dishes such as smothered pork chops or chicken.
