Instant Pot Jambalaya Sausage Chicken Andor Shrimp Recipes

INSTANT POT JAMBALAYA (SAUSAGE, CHICKEN AND/OR SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the inner pot and press the sauté button (and the start button if your model requires it). Once heated, add the sausage and cook until browned (approx. 2 minutes each side). Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a large paper towel-lined bowl and set aside.
• Add 1 tbsp of olive oil (if needed) to the hot inner pot, followed by the chicken pieces. Cook until browned (approx. 2 minutes per side). Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the same bowl the sausage is in. Set aside.
• Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent (approx. 3-4 minutes).
• Add the garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant. Press the cancel button to stop cooking.
• Add the Creole seasoning, thyme, oregano, salt and rice and stir until fully combined.
• Add the tomatoes (with the juice), chicken stock and bay leaves and stir until combined. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the insert, to unstick any brown bits and food particles that may be stuck to the bottom of the insert (this helps to prevent the "burn error" from turning on).
• Stir in the browned sausage and chicken.
• Close the lid (making sure the vent is in the sealed position) and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes, followed by a quick release. Keep the unit in the "warm" setting.
• Quickly stir in the shrimp and green onions and put the lid back on the Instant Pot. The residual heat with cook the shrimp (approx. 5-8 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp). The shrimp will be pink and shaped like the letter "C" when cooked.
• Taste and add extra salt or creole seasoning, to your preferred level. Fish out the dried bay leaves.
• Transfer to individual bowls and enjoy immediately.
