Non-Balaya

By: mis7up Supporting Member (Click to learn more about Supporting Membership)
"Over the years my family has made this dish. I've always known it as jambalaya, but years ago found out it wasn't the traditional jambalaya served in a spicy or zesty tomato-based dish. This is my family's twist on it. We love it very much. It's our comfort food. I've made quicker adjustments on my family's recipe for a faster prep time. And this recipe is scaled down. It's normally twice this size for our huge family."

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup minced green onion
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (1 pound) package smoked sausage, quartered lengthwise and sliced
  • 2 cups uncooked white rice

Directions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in the large pot. Cook the onion, green onion, and parsley in the butter until the onions begin to soften, 4 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cooked chicken, sausage, and rice; bring to a boil for 2 minutes and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Do not remove cover or stir while simmering. Serve hot.
