Ingredients

  • ⅔ lb Chicken thighs, boneless
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • ½ medium red bell pepper, seeded, diced
  • ¼ lb andouille sausage, cut into ⅛” rounds
  • 3 ½ oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 rice cups (360 ml) white rice, unrinsed
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
  • ½ tablespoon tomato paste
  • ⅔ medium tomato, diced
  • 270 ml water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Garnish

  • Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges

DIRECTIONS

  1. Season chicken by rubbing salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning on all sides.

  2. Preheat the pot with [MED] heat. Once [GRILL OK] sign appears, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread evenly. Add chicken skin-side down and sear until both sides are golden brown, about 4 minutes. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage. Transfer to a plate and cut into bite-sized pieces.

  3. In the same pot, add celery, onion, bell pepper, and sausage. Sauté for about 3 minutes over [MED] heat until the onions become translucent.

  4. Add the remaining olive oil, shrimp, rice, remaining Cajun seasoning, and tomato paste to the pot. Mix with a spatula while heating over [MED] heat for about 2 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, give it a stir, and turn off the heat.

  5. Add water, salt, and the chicken from Step 2 to the pot and stir once. Cover and select [RICE COOKING] mode, [WHT], [NORM] and set the amount to [4.0] rice cups to cook the rice.

  6. Once rice cooking is complete, uncover and fluff the rice. To serve, sprinkle chopped Italian parsley and add lemon wedges on top.

Note

  • Setting the cooking amount for 4 cups accounts for the additional ingredients. Increase the amount by 1 rice cup for every 330 g of additional ingredients when cooking mixed rice.
