Instant Pot jambalaya is a perfectly seasoned mixture of chicken, spicy sausage, rice, tomatoes, and seasonings. It’s always a hit!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 12 ounces andouille sausage, sliced (I use Aidells)
  • 2 to 3 boneless chicken thighs, about 12 ounces, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces medium to large shrimp, optional
  • 1 1/2 cups diced onion
  • 1 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup long grain white rice, well rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5-ounce) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional: sliced green onions, thyme leaves, or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Select the Instant Pot sauté function and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the sliced sausage. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Remove the sausage to a plate and set aside.
  3. Add the remianing tablespoon of oil to the pot and add the chicken pieces. Sauté the chicken until lightly browned about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  4. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot and sauté until the onion appears translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Add the garlic, Creole seasoning, and black pepper; continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the chicken stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits.
  7. Add the sausage and chicken back to the pot and give it a stir.
  8. Add the rice and tamp it down into the liquids without stirring.
  9. Lock the lid in place, choose pressure cook, and set the time for 7 minutes. When the time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 5 minutes and then do a quick release.
  10. Taste and add salt, as needed, then stir in the green onions.
  11. Serve with a garnish of thyme leaves, parsley, or sliced green onion tops, if desired.
