Jambalaya Pot Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the oven to 425 F and prepare the puff pastry shells according to package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet with high sides over medium high heat.
• Add the chicken and sausage and sauté until chicken is cooked through and sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, celery, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, cooking for about 60 seconds.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning, gumbo file, thyme, and ½ teaspoon salt.
• Stir and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Add chicken and sausage back in and continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
• Add shrimp and let cook gently for about 7-10 minutes until the shrimp are just cooked through.
• Stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
• Scoop into warm puff pastry shells and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a crockpot or large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sausage and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sausage is lightly browned. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the crockpot. Add bell peppers, jalapeño, onion and garlic. Sauté for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened.
• Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, cayenne, bay leaf, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is nearly cooked through, stirring every 5 minutes or so along the way so that the rice does not burn.
• Add the shrimp, ham, okra, and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink. Stir in the chicken and sausage, and remove and discard the bay leaf.
• Taste season the jambalaya with salt, pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the sausage and chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning. Saute sausage until browned.

• Stir in the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
