This savory Creole Jambalaya is a delightful one-pot meal that combines the rich flavors of smoked sausage, tender chicken, and aromatic vegetables with perfectly cooked rice.
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and sliced sausage to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the sausage is browned.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir in the diced chicken and cook until it is no longer pink.
Cut the chicken into small, even pieces for quicker cooking.
Add the rice, chicken broth, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the liquid.
Cover the pot and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Check the rice for doneness before removing from the oven.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
