Jammin' Jambalaya

This was really good! My eldest daughter gets very excited on nights we do recipes from the Tiana cookbook because she loves the film and loves cajun cooking! She loved helping me make this recipe!

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks

1/2 pound Andouille sausage, cooked and thinly sliced

1 medium onion, chopped
2 large celery stalks, chopped
1 small bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1/4 teaspoon slat
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can chopped tomatoes, undrained
2 cups uncooked white rice
4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Heat the olive oil in a large pot and saute the chicken over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the sausage, onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomatoes and the uncooked rice then add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover, simmer the jambalaya until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and the hot pepper sauce. Bowl it up and enjoy!
