Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz andouille sausage
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 12 oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 green onions
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
Slice the andouille sausage into thin rounds. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add both to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Dice the onion, green bell pepper, and celery, and mince the garlic cloves. Add the vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cajun seasoning, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Return the cooked sausage and chicken to the skillet. Add the shrimp and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to combine, ensuring the spaghetti is coated in the sauce.
Chop the green onions and parsley. Sprinkle them over the jambalaya spaghetti just before serving for a fresh, flavorful garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jambalaya Spaghetti!
