Jobe Gwin's Pastalaya
A little Cajun, a little Creole. This isn’t a substitute, but it might be your family’s next favorite meal. ~Jobe Gwin
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive Oil
- 2 lb Boneless Chicken breast
- 1 lb Smoked Sausage
- 2 Onions
- 1 Bell Pepper
- 1 Bunch Green Onion
- 2 Sticks of Celery
- 1 (10.5 oz) Can of Cream of jalapeño soup (cream of chicken will work)
- 1 can of Hot rotel
- 1 jalapeño (do not add if using cream of jalapeño or hot rotel)
- 1.5 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon of Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon of chicken base (or substitute with 3 chicken/beef boullion cubes)
- 3 ½ Cups Water
- 1 Tablespoon of Hot Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon browning sauce (I use savoies)
- 1 lb (16 oz) of Penne pasta
Directions:
- Start by prepping veggies. Chop them into large pieces, put them in a food processor, and blend until right before puréed. This helps reduce cooking time and also helps picky eaters. Chop, blend, and put in the fridge.
- Purée hot Rotel and put it in the fridge separately.
- Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Use 1/2 tbsp Cajun season to coat the chicken before cooking.
- Heat a cast iron pot. Add 1tbsp olive oil. Cook chicken for approximately 10 min or until almost done.
- While the chicken is cooking, cut the sausage.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pot, add in the sausage, and brown for 8-10 minutes. Brown until it’s your desired color.
- Remove sausage. Cook down blended veggies for 7-10 minutes until soft making sure to get all the gradoux from the pot. 2-3 minutes before the veggies are done add in the minced garlic and chicken base (or bouillon) and cook for another 3 minutes or so.
- Preheat your oven to 300.
- Add the water, cream of jalapeño, hot sauce, pureed rotel, browning sauce, and bring to a soft boil.
- Once everything is blended, add the raw pasta, chicken, and sausage and mix together.
- Press(mash) everything down in the pot so that it’s all touching the liquid.
- Once it comes back to a slight boil, turn off the stove, cover, and put it in the oven for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove from oven, crack open the pot so it can cool for a few minutes. Then stir and serve.
