Why I Love This Recipe

  • 30-Minute Meal—You can’t beat a hearty, flavorful, homemade meal for your family in just 30 minutes! Perfect for a busy weeknight or when you don’t feel like cooking.
  • Comforting—This easy pasta jambalaya recipe is such a perfect comfort meal on a chilly day. It will become one of your staples.
  • Family Favorite—This is a huge favorite of my kids. I substitute Polska Kielbasa sausage since it’s less spicy, and they eat it up!

How to Make Pastalaya

Brown Meat: Add oil to a large skillet (minimum 12×2’’) or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook, flipping once or twice to brown on all sides (don’t cook chicken through). Remove to a bowl then add sausage and cook until browned on both sides. Add to the bowl with the chicken.
