Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Salt for pasta cooking water plus 3/4 teaspoon, divided
1 pound dry penne rigate
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound peeled, deveined large shrimp
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Essence, divided, recipe follows
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, 1-inch diced
3/4 pound andouille sausage, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup yellow onion, small diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, small diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Fill a large, 1-gallon stock pot with a pasta insert, 3/4 full with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and season with salt to taste. Place the penne in the salted water and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the pasta until nearly al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • While the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, swirl the pan to evenly coat with the oil. Season the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the Essence and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the shrimp in the pan and sear for 1 minute per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add another tablespoon of the olive oil to the saute pan and season the chicken breast with 2 teaspoons of the Essence and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Place the chicken breast in the pan and sear for 3 minutes, turning to ensure even browning. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside with the seared shrimp.
  • Place the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the saute pan and add the sausage, onions and bell peppers. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly caramelized and the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock to the pan and scrape with a spoon to remove any browned bits that have formed in the bottom of the pan, about 30 seconds. Add the diced tomatoes, fresh thyme, the remaining tablespoon of Essence and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the pan and cook an additional 2 minutes. Return the shrimp and chicken to the pan, as well as the nearly al dente pasta and the reserved 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Continue to cook the sauce and pasta, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp and chicken are cooked through, the pasta is al dente and most of the pasta cooking water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the basil and Parmesan. Toss to combine and serve while hot.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE JAMBALAYA



Weeknight Chicken and Andouille Jambalaya image

Jambalaya traditionally contains sausage of some sort, often a smoked sausage such as andouille, along with some other meat or seafood, frequently pork, chicken, crawfish, or shrimp. Andouille is a coarse-grained smoked sausage made using smoked pork shoulder, garlic, pepper, onions, wine, and seasonings. The vegetable base is a combination of onion, celery, and green bell pepper known as the "holy trinity." I find that green bell peppers can be difficult to digest, so I use poblano peppers instead. They are far more flavorful and complex and less likely to cause digestive distress. For generations, some of the most flavorful rice Americans have eaten has been jasmine rice imported to the United States from Asia. Twelve years ago, the Louisiana State University AgCenter started a project to increase rice production in Louisiana, and the state is now the third largest rice-producing state in the United States.

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground mustard
Pinch celery salt
For the jambalaya:
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, medium dice
12 ounces andouille sausage, medium dice

1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
2 bay leaves
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)

Steps:

  • For the spice mix: 1. Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine; set aside. For the jambalaya: 1. Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set aside. 2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed, ovenproof, 7-quart pot or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place about one-third of the chicken pieces in the pot and cook, stirring rarely, until browned all over, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to a large bowl and brown the remaining chicken in 2 more batches; set aside. 3. Remove and discard all but about 1/4 cup of the fat from the pot. Add the butter and melt over medium heat.

Add the reserved chicken and any accumulated juices, the tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, and the tomato paste. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Add the rice, stock or broth, and bay leaves, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Cover with a tightfitting lid, transfer to the oven, and bake until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Remove the pot to a wire rack and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir to evenly combine the jambalaya, taste, and season with salt as needed.

Yield 8 Main Dish Servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Seasoning Mix
1 T. finely minced garlic
1 T. paprika (sweet)
2 t. salt
1 t. white pepper
1 t. black pepper
1 t. dry mustard
1 t. dried thyme leaves
½ t. ground cumin
½ t. (or more) cayenne pepper
3 onions, chopped (3 Cups)
1 C. chopped celery
3 C. chopped green bell peppers
2 andouille sausages (chicken or pork), sliced ¼ inch thick.
2 bay leaves
2 C. peeled, chopped fresh tomatoes
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken (thigh meat or breast, as desired), cut into large bite-size pieces (thigh meat works best)
3 C. long-grain white rice (Uncle Ben's Converted Rice holds up the best to cooking, repeated stirring, and reheating)
6 C. chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine seasoning mix ingredients and set aside. Prepare all the ingredients: Peel and chop onions, trim and chop celery and core, seed and chop peppers. Slice andouille and cut chicken. Peel tomatoes by removing stem, cutting an "x" in the base, and immersing in boiling water for 15 seconds. Remove, let cool, and peel then chop. If using an Asian rice, rinse until water runs clear and drain well. Heat a large, heavy, non-aluminum pot (at least 6 quart size) over medium-high heat until quite hot. Add the onion, celery, bell peppers and half the andouille sausage, plus about ¾ of the seasoning mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, scraping up any bits that stick to the pot, for about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the spices. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and the tomatoes; stir and scrape any stuck bits from the pot, and cook until boiling rapidly. Add the chicken, the rest of the sausage, the bay leaves, and the remaining stock, and bring to a boil. Immediately add the rice, return to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 - 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with remainder of the "seasoning mix" before serving.

½ cup oil (bacon grease preferred)
3 c. chopped onions
1 c. chopped bell peppers
3 t. salt
1 ¼ t. cayenne (or 50% less)
1 pound andouille, chorizo, or other smoked sausage (or tasso), cut crosswise into ¼-inch slices

3 bay leaves
3 cups medium-grain white rice
6 cups water (add ½ cup more if you deem necessary)
1 cup chopped green onions.

Steps:

Add the water, stir to combine, and cover. Cook over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes, without stirring, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Andouille and chicken jambalaya is a traditional dish from Louisiana that is known for its bold flavors and easy preparation. This dish is made by cooking rice and sausage in a spicy tomato sauce with tender, juicy chicken. Although jambalaya may seem like a simple dish, there are some tips and techniques that can help elevate the flavors and bring out the best in each ingredient. In this article, we'll explore some valuable tips for making Andouille and Chicken Jambalaya recipes that will impress your friends and family.

1. Choosing The Right Rice

Rice is the main ingredient in jambalaya, so it's important to choose the right type of rice to ensure that your dish comes out perfect. Louisiana white rice is the best choice for jambalaya because of its texture and ability to absorb flavors. Avoid using long-grain rice as it can turn out to be dry and clumpy. Basmati rice or jasmine rice should also be avoided as they can make the dish too fragrant and overpowering. Instead, go for short-grain rice like Arborio or sushi rice, which has a stickier texture and can absorb flavors well.

2. Preparing the Andouille Sausage

Andouille sausage is a smoked sausage that is made with pork, paprika, and other spices. It adds a rich, smoky flavor to the dish, but it can also be tough and chewy if not prepared properly. To ensure that the sausage is tender and juicy, it's essential to cook it before adding it to the jambalaya. Slice the sausage into thin rounds and cook it in a pan until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will also help to release some of the excess fat from the sausage, which can make the dish too greasy.

3. Cooking the Chicken

Chicken is another crucial ingredient in jambalaya, and it's important to cook it just right to make the dish juicy and flavorful. To ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly, cut it into small bite-sized pieces before cooking. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and paprika, and sauté it in a pan until it's browned on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out when it's added to the jambalaya.

4. Choosing The Right Vegetables

The vegetables in jambalaya are what give it its distinctive flavor and texture. Bell peppers, onions, and celery are traditional vegetables in jambalaya since they add sweetness, fragrance, and a little crunch to the dish. It's important to dice the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly in the sauce. Sauté the vegetables in a little butter or oil until they are tender and lightly caramelized. This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and add depth to the dish.

5. Seasoning The Sauce

The sauce is what brings all the ingredients in jambalaya together, so it's important to season it well to ensure that it's flavorful and spicy. Use a mix of diced tomatoes and tomato paste to give the sauce a rich, tangy flavor. Add spices such as cayenne, paprika, and chili powder for heat or thyme, oregano, and bay leaves for a more herbal flavor. Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. It's better to add a little at a time and taste as you go rather than adding too much and ruining the dish.

6. Adding The Rice

Adding the rice to the sauce is the most crucial step in making jambalaya. It's important to add the rice at the right time and to let it cook in the sauce without stirring too much. This will help to create a creamy texture and prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add the rice to the sauce after it has been simmering for a few minutes, and then stir it gently to distribute it evenly in the sauce. Cover the pan and let the rice cook for about 20-25 minutes or until it's fully cooked.

7. Letting It Rest Before Serving

Once the jambalaya is cooked, it's important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the sauce. Cover the pan and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes before serving. This will also help to prevent the rice from becoming too sticky or mushy.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Andouille and Chicken Jambalaya is a delicious dish that's easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion. With these tips and techniques, you can take your jambalaya recipe to the next level and impress your guests with complex flavors and fragrant aromas. Remember to choose the right rice, prepare the sausage and chicken properly, choose the right vegetables, season the sauce well, add the rice at the right time, and let it rest before serving. With these tips, you're on your way to making the perfect jambalaya recipe every time.
