This recipe is an Uncle Ben's recipe that has been modified to be lower in fat and calories. I've never made jambalaya before, but this looked good so I thought I'd give it a try. Much to my surprise, it was quick, easy, and very tasty. I used canned chicken in water, and some frozen turkey sausage links I found in the breakfast section of frozen foods. The green bell pepper flavor is quite strong, so you may prefer to use only half a pepper. If you are cooking for someone who dislikes veggies, the celery, onion, bell pepper can be pureed. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups uncle ben's original converted rice, uncooked |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 lb chicken breast, in bite-sized pieces |
1/2 lb smoked turkey sausage, sliced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped |
3 stalks celery, chopped |
3 cups low sodium chicken broth |
2 tablespoons low-sodium cajun seasoning, divided |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. In a large lidded pot or dutch oven, heat oil on medium heat.
2. Add garlic, celery, green bell pepper, onion, 1 tbsp of the cajun seasoning, chicken, and sausage. Cook for about 5 minutes, until chicken is mostly cooked (or well-heated if you are using canned chicken).
3. Add rice and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and remaining 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning; bring to a boil.
5. Cover, reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
6. Remove lid and let set for 5 minutes before serving.
