I have little patience for tedious recipes. Who has that kind of time? This recipe is easy and flavorful, the perfect combination for a lazy cook like me!

  • 1 whole Chopped Onion
  • 1 whole Chopped Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Cooked, Cubed Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast (I Coat The Breast In Cajun Seasoning And Bake At 400ºF For 18 Minutes)
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Diced Tomatoes, Undrained
  • 8 ounces, weight Andouille Or Kielbasa Sausage, Halved Lengthwise And Cut Into 1/2 Inch Slices
  • ¾ cups Uncooked Rice
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Basil

In a large skillet cook celery, onion, bell pepper and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir in all other ingredients and bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf and serve!

Kellie, I just use regular rice. Sorry for the confusion.

What kind of rice did you use? I used regular rice, since it didn’t specify “minute” or otherwise and cooked it for around an hour.

I think this is the easiest recipe I’ve ever seen for Jambalaya. Sounds delicious! I don’t mind tedious recipes, but I usually don’t have the time to make them :)
Thanks for sharing!

The word jambalaya grabbed me, and once I saw “lazy cook,” you had me! Can’t wait to try out this recipe, finally something that isn’t too intimidating. Thanks! :)

I have made this at least a dozen times. I have tweaked the recipe to suit our taste but it is perfect just as it’s written. I pan sear the sausage first to give crispy edges and use Rotel instead of plain tomatoes. My husband is originally from Louisiana and he loves this meal. Thanks for sharing your awesome recipe!

Loved it too! Made my brown rice ahead of time and added it to the skillet to simmer and soak up the beautiful flavor. So easy. So yummy. Thank you!
