Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

2 red bell peppers (diced)
1 jalapeño pepper (diced)
3 stalks celery (diced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1 chicken breast (chopped)
1 pound andouille sausage (sliced)
14 ounces crushed tomatoes (one can)
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt & pepper to taste
3 cups chicken stock
1 ½ cup long grain white rice
1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
parsley chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Saute the onion, peppers and celery until they begin to soften, about 5 - 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 yellow onion, 2 red bell peppers, 1 jalapeño pepper, 3 stalks celery, 5 cloves garlic
Add the chicken and sausage to the pan (and up to 2 more tablespoons of olive oil if needed) and cook for 5 - 7 minutes, until browned and no longer pink. 1 chicken breast, 1 pound andouille sausage
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cajun seasoning, basil, thyme, bay leaf and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 14 ounces crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon basil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, salt & pepper to taste
Stir in the chicken stock and white rice. Bring the pan to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes, until the rice is cooked and almost all of the liquid is absorbed. If the mixture becomes too dry, add an extra splash of chicken stock. Stir occasionally. 3 cups chicken stock, 1 ½ cup long grain white rice
Stir the shrimp into the pan and cook for 5 more minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 1 pound shrimp
Optionally, serve garnished with parsley.
