Paleo Jambalaya

Though you may consider Paleo jambalaya a complete meal on its own, there are some sides that complement this flavorful dish without overshadowing it.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb Andouille sausages sliced
  • 2 lb chicken tenders cut into chunks
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 4 sprigs thyme fresh
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 lb shrimp raw, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz okra chopped
  • 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 4 green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan over high heat, brown the sausages in the olive oil. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Add the chicken to the saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking on all sides for a few more minutes until the chicken begins to brown.
  • Add the onion, garlic, celery, peppers and thyme to the saucepan. Mix in with the meat and continue to cook for 5 to 7 minutes; stirring frequently to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the broth, tomato sauce and hot sauce. Mix well and allow it to come to a boil.
  • Once the mixture has boiled, add the shrimp and okra. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until shrimp is pink.
  • Remove the jambalaya from the heat. Stir in parsley and green onions prior to serving.
