In a heavy 5-quart saute pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and brown the cut up chicken that has been seasoned with Tony's (NOTE: this is not the amount in the ingredient list; simply sprinkle the cut-up chicken with a little [or a lot] Tony's) for 3-5 minutes. Do not cook the chicken through. Remove chicken from pot.

Add the sliced sausage to the pot and brown for 5 minutes. Then add the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Mix well and scrape bottom of pan to remove and incorporate any browned pieces of chicken and sausage. Simmer covered on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.

Return chicken to pot and add the tomatoes, broth, and seasonings above. Mix well and taste for flavor. Add raw rice and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and lower heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes and then stir mixture to bring rice to the top.

Cover and lower heat (very gentle simmer) and cook another 30 minutes or until rice is done. Do not lift the lid while the jambalaya is cooking. Do not boil the jambalaya! All that's needed is a slow, gentle simmer. On my stove, it's the lowest setting.

Alternative Method. Recipe can be doubled and baked in the oven at 350F for 1 hour. Looking at the recipe card, you still do steps 1 and 2. BUT for step 3, you will place the browned chicken, browned sausage, onion, bell pepper, and celery into a large roasting pan and add the tomatoes, broth, seasonings, and raw rice. Mix well and taste for flavor. Step 4, bake in the oven for an hour or until the rice is tender. The pan needs to be covered tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil or have a lid that fits well.
