Poorman's Jambalaya Recipe

Directions:

1. Thoroughly combine season mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
2. In a large skillet (a cast iron if you have one) or a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium high heat.
3. Add chicken breast chunks and sausage, cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add onion, celery, bell pepper and season mix.
5. Stir well and cook until browned (about 10-12 minutes), stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan.
6. Stir in rice and cook 2 minutes, stirring well.
7. Add the chicken broth, stir well.
8. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed (about 20 minutes).
9. Remove bay leaves and serve.
10. NOTE: You may use shrimp or ham instead of chicken or a combination of any of the meats.
11. I like to simmer mine on low for 1-2 hours. Check and stir occasionally while its simmering and add extra broth or water if needed.
