Introduction
This is a recipe that recreates the popular family restaurant menu item 'Denny's Jambalaya,' easily prepared in a single frying pan. The juicy chicken perfectly matches the rice, which is rich with spicy umami flavors.
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken thigh with salt (2 pinches), chili powder (1 tsp), and black pepper (to taste), rubbing it in well by hand.
Step 2
Cut the onion into 1cm cubes and finely chop the green pepper, including the seeds. Slice the sausage into rounds and mince or thinly slice the garlic.
Step 3
Add olive oil (1.5 tbsp) to the pan and sear the chicken thigh skin-side down over medium heat. Once the skin is nicely browned, flip it over and remove it from the pan.
Step 4
In the same pan used to sear the chicken, stir-fry the sausage and garlic. Once fragrant, add the green pepper and onion and continue to stir-fry.
Step 5
Mix in the ketchup (3.5 tbsp), then add the unwashed rice (1.5 cups) and stir-fry to coat it in the oil and flavors. Stir in the additional chili powder (1/2 tsp).
Ingredients List
Important Notes
It is crucial to sear the chicken thigh skin until crispy to release the chicken fat and umami into the oil. 🔥
Do not wash the rice. If you wash it, the rice will absorb water and won't be able to properly soak up the flavorful oil in the pan. 💡
Adjust the amount of chili powder used for the finish according to your preferred spice level. ⚠️
