How to make
-
STEP 1
Melt butter in 12-inch skillet until sizzling; add pepper, celery and onions. Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes or until crisply tender. Add rice, chicken broth and flour; stir. Continue cooking 1-2 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Cover; continue cooking 2 minutes.

STEP 2
Add chicken, sausage and tomatoes; cook 4-6 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Add salt and pepper, if desired.
Tip #1
- Almost any sausage without fennel seasoning can be used in jambalaya in place of kielbasa.
Tip #2
- If you like less spice in your food, substitute tomatoes without green chiles. If you like more spice, you can add hot sauce, a staple condiment in New Orleans cooking. Pass extra at the table for those who like a lot of heat. The condiment aisle of the grocery store will offer several brands. They all have their own unique flavor.
Tip #3
- Depending on the size of the chicken, 1 purchased rotisserie chicken will yield between 3 to 4 cups chopped chicken.
