DirectionsGet to the point

1Brown 12 oz sliced andouille + 1 lb chicken thighs 6 min in Dutch oven.

2Sauté trinity + garlic + Cajun spice; add 2 cups rice, toast 60 seconds.

3Add 4 cups broth + tomato paste + bay + thyme; cover, bake 350°F 20 min.

4Stir in 1 lb shrimp, cover off-heat 8 min until shrimp curl and rice absorbs.

Dad pro tip

Jambalaya vs gumbo: jambalaya has rice IN it (one-pot); gumbo has rice served UNDER it (a stew ladled over). Jambalaya is a rice dish with protein; gumbo is a stew with rice on the side.

Kid adjustment

Reserve a small portion of the rice-chicken-andouille mixture before adding shrimp, and cut the andouille pieces in half. Skip the Cajun seasoning shake at the table — hot sauce on the side only.

Reheat

Warm covered in a saucepan over medium-low for 8 minutes, stirring in 2 tbsp broth per portion to refluff the rice. Shrimp will slightly toughen on reheat — this is unavoidable.
