Nothing says NOLA or Mardi Gras more then Jambalaya! I’m going to tell you right now, this dish is amazing!!!! I invited my brothers over last night to share this giant pot of Jambalaya with us. A “funny” little story about when I invite my brothers over… Dominick always responds not with a yes or no but instead with a “What are you making?”. So I told him what I was making and I told him it would be even better then Ragin Cajun {a small local cajun restaurant} and his response was something along the lines of “don’t push it”. I am very happy to say, I WIN! This pot was devoured and compliments kept coming! My little brother Mike said “You’ve made a lot of really great dishes but this may the best”!!
This dish is very simple to make but the flavors are absolutely fantastic!!! Boneless skinless chicken thighs are perfectly fork tender, spicy andouille sausage, traditional bell peppers, onions and celery. Fresh garlic, crushed tomatoes a bay leaf and cajun seasoning add incredible flavor to this one pot dish; yes the rice is cooked right in there too! Seriously, you all have got to make this it is so good!!!
