- Welcome to Easy Freezer Meals. Today we are making Cajun Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya (Easy Freezer Meal). This is a great dish to make because it freezes great and it's incredibly delicious.
To get started you are going to want to get some parboiled rice. We use mahatma parboiled rice as it produces a Jambalaya with a better texture that leaves the grains of rice perfectly cooked and not mushy!!
Parboiled Rice on Amazon: amzn.to/2B1L916
Recipe:
2 pounds of Andouille or a Cajun Sausage
2.5 pounds Chicken Thigh Meat
3 Tablespoons of garlic
1 pounds of smoked pork tasso diced small
1.5 pounds of bell pepper diced
1.5 pounds onions diced
1.5 pounds of celery diced
2 teaspoons of Dried Thyme
2 teaspoons of dried basil
5 teaspoons of black pepper
1 Tablespoon kosher Salt
2.5 teaspoons of Red Pepper Flakes
2 Pounds of Mahatma Long Grain Parboiled Rice (or 5.25 cups)
2 Tablespoons dried Parsley
7.25 cups of cooking liquid (See notes)
On a medium heat brown your sliced or diced sausage. Once the fat starts to render remove the sausage and leave the rendered fat in the cooking pot. If you need to add a little oil that's ok. Add the chicken and brown it. As you brown your chicken it will begin to create a "Graton" on the bottom of the pot. This is a good thing as it will add lots of flavor to your jambalaya. Once your chicken has been browned on each side add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and garlic and cook till starting to soften. Add the sausage back into the pot and stir to combine. Next add the Tasso and the herbs and seasonings. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. This will really bring the flavors together..
After your base of vegetables and proteins have finished simmering remove from the pot and strain out as much liquid as you can. Take the cooking liquid and add chicken stock till you get to 8 cups. This is what we will use to cook the rice.
Place the 8 cups of cooking liquid in your pot, add the "base" mix to this liquid and on a high heat cook till it begins to boil. Add your rice and begin to stir, scraping the bottom of the pot ensuring that nothing sticks. Once you get it to a simmer reduce the heat and cook for 25-30 minutes. During this time don't disturb the pot. After 30 minutes remove the top and give your rice a stir. Your Jambalaya is now finished and you can serve it up for dinner and freeze the rest.
This will freeze in your freezer friendly containers, zip lock bags, vac seal bags. If you reheat in the oven just cover with foil to retain your moisture and bake at 350F for 30 minutes till warmed through.
Enjoy

Thank you Bobbiejo. Our business has been super busy but thankfully I found a little time this week...
@@EasyFreezerMeals im so glad your business is thriving!
Did you make the pork Tasso? If you did I would like the recipe.
Nice, very nice.
Thanks Jerry
Do you have to defrost before thank you❤❤❤
jesus christ...you got a scaled down version for normal folks? This would feed me for about 20 meals...
also i dont think i have the arm strength to mix that around lol, that pot's huge
LOL.. Yeah. All of my recipes (in the description box) are scaled down to feed a family with leftovers to have as a freezer meal for later... The pot is HUG. I think it's 25 gallons. If you try it out let me know what you think. You can half the recipe if you want an even smaller portion..
@@EasyFreezerMeals ... fucking hell, how long did it take for you to develop the arm strength to be able to mix the sheer amount of food in there, several years?
....and all the Cajuns said Amen!
AMEN!!
Child....I ain't a Cajun, but I'll gladly say Amen and shout for a plate of this here! Lmao....Eric this is another winner, winner jambalaya dinner baby!
