Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.

Add sausage to the pot and cook until browned. Remove sausage from pot and set aside with chicken.

Add onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.

Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.

Stir in rice, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.

Return chicken and sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes more, until heated through.

Stir in parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot, with hot sauce on the side, if desired.

Final Notes

Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch. This spicy jambalaya is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
