Healthy Jambalaya recipe
Equipment
- 1 large deep skillet
Ingredients
- 1 cup Swanson no sodium chicken broth
- 1 bag Medium shrimp divined (remove tail)
- 3 Boneless chicken breast (cubed)
- 1 pkg turkey or chicken sausage
- 1 onion
- 2 cans 10oz Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies
- 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 tbsp chopped garlic
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 bag rice or cauliflower rice
- 1 green pepper sliced
- 1 red pepper sliced
Instructions
First, I cook up the chicken chunks with some olive oil and some seasonings from my list above. (Roaster chicken is delicious too) Second, I add in my onion and peppers to sauté. Then add your turkey/chicken sausage. Once the sausage is browned, add in your cans of diced tomatoes and cup of broth and all spices. Taste your mixture once it simmers for a bit and add in more Cajun seasoning if you would like, I also add hot sauce at this point. I like it spicy! If you need more broth add in a bit more. I do like mine to have a little broth in it so start from a cup and go from there. Add in your shrimp when you have about 5 minutes left to simmering. Shrimp cooks fast and it will continue to cook once you take if off the stovetop. Cover as your simmering. Once done serve over rice!
