2. Add onion, peppers, thyme, flour, and cayenne to pot and cook, stirring constantly, until onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in rice, then add broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes.

3. Stir chicken and sausage into rice mixture; cover and continue to simmer 6 minutes. Stir in shrimp; cover and simmer 6 minutes, or until cooked through. Spoon jambalaya onto plates. Garnish servings with parsley.

This recipe is so good...and perfect after a long day of

crafting, decorating, wrapping, or shopping...because

I know that's all everyone has been doing lately.

So, you might not really feel like cooking.

But if you do, you'll be happy you did.
