This hearty chicken and ham jambalaya is a soul-warming dish that brings the vibrant flavours of Louisiana straight to your kitchen. A classic high-protein meal, it combines tender chicken thighs and breasts with savoury cooked ham and succulent prawns. The base is built on the 'holy trinity' of Cajun cooking—onions, celery, and green peppers—which are slowly simmered with garlic and spices to create a deep, aromatic foundation for the rice to absorb.
Perfect for a family gathering or a weekend meal prep session, this one-pot wonder is as nutritious as it is filling. The addition of juicy tomatoes and a dash of Tabasco provides a gentle heat that balances the richness of the meats. Serve this comforting dish in deep bowls with a side of crusty bread or a crisp green salad for a complete, homemade dinner that everyone will enjoy.

How to make Eula Mae's Chicken and Ham Jambalaya
Volver al contenidoSprinkle the chicken with the salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large mixing bowl.
Add the ham to the pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the ham to the chicken in the bowl.
Add the onions, peppers, celery, and garlic to the pot and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Return the chicken and ham to the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken broth and reserved tomato juice, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
Mash the cooked garlic against the side of the pot and blend into the mixture. Add the tomatoes, spring onions, parsley, prawns, and Tabasco and adjust the seasonings to taste. Add the rice, cover the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and fluffy and the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
