Jambalaya Recipe (Chicken, Sausage, Shrimp & Veggies 21 Day Fix Approved)

Ingredients:
Chicken
Sausage (or chicken sausage)
Shrimp
Celery
1 Red Pepper
1 Green Pepper
1 Zucchini
1/2 Yellow Onion
1 Can diced tomatoes
1 bag brown rice (Uncle Ben's Boil in a Bag)
Garlic

Spices:
2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp Garlic Powder
3 tsp Cajun Spice
3 tsp Paprika
2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Thyme


1. Heat oven to 350

2. Place tin foil in a raised baking dish (usually make brownies in mine) where you can put the chicken and sausage and cover the top with another piece of tin foil.  Bake for about 25-30 min

3. Start by dicing your onion into small pieces. I used 1/2 an onion. Check out my chopping onion blog for a trick to do this quickly with no tears LINK HERE

4. Heat pan with about 1 tsp of coconut oil

5. Cook your rice according to the directions on the box/bag.

6. Place 2 tsp of minced garlic and chopped onion in the pan.  I had the heat on medium so that it wouldn't burn as I chopped the other veggies.

7. Chop about 5 Celery stalks then add that to the pan and stir everything together.

8. Chop the Red and Green pepper and add to pan.

9. Chop one zucchini into round disk then chop the disks into half and add to the pan


10. Stir everything together.

11. I bought shrimp already steamed at the grocery store.  I peeled and added them to the pan at this stage.  You could buy frozen shrimp and cook them to add.

12. Add your can of diced tomatoes and stir

13. I then added all of the spices listed above into the pan and stir it up really well. Place the lid on the pan to let it all simmer together and helps add a little water with the steam.

14. When the meat is finished cooking take it out and cut on your cutting board and add to the pan.  Stir everything together and let cook together for about 5 minutes with the lid on.

15. You can stir your rice in with everything or you can measure it out and mix it in your bowl.

For fix friends you can measure out 1 Red, 1 green, and 1 yellow or however many servings of everything you need.

I used regular sausage because it is what I had in my freezer.  If you wanted to you could use chicken sausage! 

ENJOY!
