Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté the diced Honeybaked ham over medium heat until it starts to brown and crisp up, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
-
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
-
Sprinkle in the long-grain rice, Cajun seasoning, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
-
Once the rice is cooked, give the jambalaya a final stir to fluff up the rice and mix all the flavors together.
-
Serve the Honeybaked Ham Jambalaya hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a side of hot sauce for those who like an extra kick of spice.
