INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 6 oz. andouille sausage, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 2 c. low-sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 1 (15-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 c. long grain rice
  • 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

PREPARATION
  • In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and bell peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then stir in chicken and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until the chicken is golden, about 5 minutes, then stir in andouille sausage, garlic, and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Add chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, rice, and Old Bay. Reduce heat to medium low, cover with a tight fitting lid, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is almost absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and cook until pink, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in green onions just before serving.

Steve says he uses half the shrimp (1/2 pound) and double the sausage (12 oz.) from the original recipe, just because he doesn't care for shrimp much. Adjust to your own preferences!

Add a little Tony Chachere's seasoning for a dash of Creole flavor!
