One-Pot Jambalaya

Add oil to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high eat. When oil is hot, add bell pepper, onion, celery and garlic to the pot. Cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Add chicken, andouille, and tomato paste. Stir around the mix with the other ingredients and break up the tomato paste. Add white rice and stir it around until lightly toasted.

Stir in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, and bay leaf. Cover, and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and the liquid has been completely absorbed. Stir every 10 minutes or so to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Serve hot!

Notes:
1. Mine took a little longer than 30 minutes to cook—more like 45 minutes.
2. Although the book said it made two servings, we each got 2 meals out of this, so it depends on how much you eat!
