Jambalaya

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/2 pound ham, diced
• 1 Tbsp of Guidry’s Creole seasoning
• 1 Tbsp of Guidry’s Garlic seasoning
• 1/2 pound of boneless chicken
• 1 pound of shrimp
• 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon of thyme
• 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
• 1 pound of Guidry’s Cajun sausage, sliced
• 4 cups of chicken stock
• 2 cups of Uncle Ben’s rice
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions

Sauté onions and oil in a large saucepan until the onions start to brown lightly. Add Guidry’s sausages and beef and sauté until the meat is cooked. Add ham, garlic, shrimp, thyme and parsley and sauté 5 minutes. Add rice and bay leaf. Return to boil and cover. Simmer over very low heat 35 to 45 minutes, checking after 25 minutes to see if all liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender. If necessary, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more water if liquid boils away before rice is cooked.
