As soon as I found this Slimming World Chicken Jambalaya recipe I knew my hubby would love it. I don’t like peppers so we skipped them from the recipe but normally the hubby will cook them separately and add then at the end. This recipe is for four so I halved the ingredients as I was only cooking for us two.
- Low calorie cooking spray
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper and 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and chopped into chunks
- 2 courgettes, chopped into chunks
- 4 skinless chicken breasts, chopped into chunks
- 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 bay leaf
- Splash of tabasco
- 350g long grain rice, dried
- 1 litre of chicken stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley, to serve
- Spray a large, deep non-stick frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. I just used our wok as our frying pan wasn't quite big enough.
- Add the onion, garlic and chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and season well.
- Bring to the boil then cover the pan and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until the stock is almost absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Serve scattered with parsley.

This looks really delicious and I like that it’s a low fat recipe too. Proves you don’t need fat to add flavour. I’ve pinned to come back to this at a later date. Yum!

YUMMY! Jambalaya is one of my favourite meals. I do a version that is definitely not friendly to any type of diets as I include lots of Chorizo in mine. I like the idea of having courgettes in there though so I will pinch that for future 🙂
