Ingredients:

1/4 cup oil
1 chicken, cut up or boned
1 1/2 lb andouille
4 cup onions, chopped
2 cup celery, chopped
2 cup green pepper
1 tbsp garlic, chopped
4 cup rice, long grained
5 cup chicken stock
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 cayenne, to taste
2 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions:

Season and brown chicken in oil (lard, bacon drippings are
traditional) over med-high heat. Add sausage to pot (cut in 1/4"
rounds) and saute with chicken. Remove both from pot. For brown
jambalaya, either add heaping Tbsp brown sugar to hot oil and
caramelize, make roux, or use Kitchen Bouquet. For red jambalaya,
delete this. (I prefer to make a deep chestnut colored roux). Saute
onions, celery, green pepper and garlic to the tenderness that you
desire. Return chicken and sausage to pot. Add liquid and salt,
pepper, and other desired seasonings and bring to boil. If using
Kitchen Bouquet for brown jambalaya, add 1-2 Tbsp. For red jambalaya,
add approx 1/4 cup paprika, and you may want to use 1/2 stock and 1/2
tomato juice or V-8 for your liquid. Add rice and return to boil.
Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for total of 30 minutes. After
10 minutes of cooking, remove cover and quickly turn rice from top to
bottom completely. Add green onions and chopped tomatoes if desired.
For seafood jambalaya, follow the first two steps, and then return
seafood here.

NOTE: 1 cup raw long grain rice will feed 3 people. 4 keys: 1 cup
rice to a total of 2 cups of trinity in any combination (trinity =
onions, celery and green pepper) 1 cup raw rice to 1-1/4 cups liquid
overseason to compensate for the rice. Cook for a total of 30
minutes, turning completely after 10 minutes.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"We were not satisfied with the qualities which nature gave to poultry; art stepped in and, under the pretext of improving fowls, has made martyrs of them." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
