This isn't Jambalaya in the strictest sense, but it's quick, easy, filling and very, very tasty.

This is for 4 people.

***Ingredients***
1 tbsp olive oil
2 chopped chicken breasts
1 diced onion
2 crushed garlic cloves
75g sliced chorizo
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
250g long grain rice
400g can plum tomatoes
350ml chicken stock
1 sliced red pepper... (I don't like pepper so I use 2 courgettes instead).


***Method***
- Heat the oil in a big pot
- Add chicken and brown until golden
- Remove chicken from the pot
- Fry the onion until soft
- Add pepper (or whatever veg you want), garlic, chorizo, cajun seasoning and cook for 5 minutes
- Put chicken back in, along with the tomatoes, stock, and rice
- Simmer for around 25 minutes
...The rice will absorb all the liquid. A quick stir will mix the ingredients up nicely. It tastes spicy and is very filling. It's perfect for cold winter days, and provided you don't use too much chorizo, it is fairly healthy too.

I have added butternut squash to this recipe before and it tasted really nice.

Enjoy!
