  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Rice, Low Calorie

 Ingredients List

  • 1/2 c Onion - chopped
  • 1/4 c Green pepper - chopped
  • 1/2 c Tomato - chopped
  • 2 Clove garlic - minced
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1/4 ts Thyme
  • 2 ts Parsley - fresh, minced
  • 1/8 ts Freshly ground black pepper
  • -Pinch cayenne
  • 1 c Chicken stock - made without
  • -salt or fat
  • 1/2 c Rice - uncooked
  • 2 oz Chicken - lean, cubed,
  • -cooked or raw

 Directions

Heat a saucepan and add the onion and bell pepper. Using a wooden spoon,
stir them over medium heat until they begin to color while you scrape the
sides and bottom of the pan to be sure that nothing sticks and burns. Add
the tomato, garlic, herbs and seasonings and stir together. Add the stock
and bring to a boil. Add the rice and chicken and bring to a simmer. Cover
and simmer gently for 20 minutes, then uncover and let the Jambalaya dry
out a bit. Fluff up the Jambalaya with a fork and serve.

NOTES: Different rices will vary this dish. Experiment. It is not necessary
that each grain be separate. Jambalaya, by the nature of its cooking
process, may be somewhat sticky and perhaps the better dish for it.

VARIATION: Jambalaya can be made with shrimp, lean turkey sausage, smoked
chicken or smoked turkey. Just remember to keep it light.
