    Preparation Steps

    1

    Dice the chicken breast into even pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

    2

    In the same skillet, sauté the sliced sausage until lightly browned. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

    3

    Add the minced garlic, tomato sauce, bay leaves, oregano, cayenne pepper, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

    4

    Stir in the rice, ensuring it's well coated in the sauce. Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

    5

    Once the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed, remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

    6

    Serve the jambalaya hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
