  • Here's how to make jambalaya: Chop the garlic, onion, celery, and pepper. Cut the chicken breast and sausage into slices about 1 cm thick. Fry the chicken in vegetable oil for 5 minutes. Add the sausage and fry for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the chopped vegetables to the pan, season with cayenne, black pepper, and salt, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Rinse the rice under cold running water, drain it in a colander, then pat it dry on a paper towel. Get a pan ready, add a little oil, and spread the rice over the bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sausage mixture to the rice. Pour in the broth, add the bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover, and let everything simmer for 20 minutes. Stir hot tomato sauce into the finished dish, mix, and it's ready to serve.
