Jambalaya (Chicken and Andouille)
This recipe is one that has fed my family since my wife
and I started living together. It was taught to me when I
was only a teenager as a “right of passage” on the day I
was given the honor of making the Jambalaya for the
Cajun cookouts I attended often as a child. To be given
the honor to cook the Gumbo, The Jambalaya or at the
pinnacle of culinary respect, to be the master of the
BBQ pit was, and still is considered a place of honor in
the places I learned to cook.

Place the chicken pieces in a small bowl. Season the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, set aside.

Remove with slotted spoon, and set aside. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until lightly browned on all sides. Remove with a
slotted spoon to the bowl holding the sausage, and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté onion, bell pepper, celery until tender. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 90 seconds. Stir in diced
tomatoes, and season with red pepper, black pepper, salt, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce and file seasoning. Stir in
