Jambalaya is a traditional Creole dish with rice, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and some type of protein. Our chefs put a family-friendly spin on the dish by adding orange zest for a burst of citrus flavor and honey to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.

Instructions

Cook the chicken
1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken on a lightly oiled baking sheet, and season with salt, pepper, and half the chorizo seasoning. Bake until firm and juices run clear when pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes.

2

Prep the ingredients: Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and dice onion. Core, seed, and dice bell peppers.

Start the jambalaya
3

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and remaining chorizo seasoning blend. Toss occasionally until softened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the rice
4

Add rice to pan along with tomatoes, stock concentrate, 1 Tablespoon honey, and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

5

Finish: Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley. Zest and halve orange. When rice is tender, reduce heat to low. Stir in parsley, juice of half the orange, and a pinch of orange zest (to taste). Season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered, 1-2 minutes.
