My no sweat dinner tonight....Chicken Jambalaya
Labels: recipes 1 commentsI've been struggling with my camper getting hot while I'm trying to cook dinner every night. When I turn that gas stove on, it heats up really quick in here. I decided to buy myself a electric skillet this weekend while we were in town. Tonight was my first dinner cooked in my new skillet. It solved my problem! Tonight I made, literally, a "no sweat" dinner! What a relief!
I tried a new recipe. It tastes good and I think everyone will like it but it just doesn't make enough for us. I would have to double this for it to be a meal for my family.
Oh! And I think I am finally developing a taste for celery! I usually leave celery out of recipes because I don't like it. I decided to use the celery this time and I love it! I don't think this recipe would be near as good without it. I usually try things I don't like occasionally because I know that our tastes change over time.
Chicken Jambalaya
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken meat
1. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add celery, onion and
saute until tender. Stir in tomatoes, broth, rice, thyme or basil,
garlic salt, ground black pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
2. Bring all to a boil; reduce heat, cover skillet and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in chicken or turkey and cook until heated through.
