  • PREP TIME 20 Min
  • TOTAL TIME 50 Min
  • SERVINGS 5

 

1
lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4)
1
box Betty Crocker® Chicken Helper® jambalaya
2
tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2
cups hot water
1
can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with onion and pepper, undrained
1/2
lb sliced fully cooked Polish or kielbasa sausage, if desired
2
tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 Cut chicken into strips, about 2x1/4 inch. In 3- to 4-quart saucepan, stir chicken and chicken seasoning (from jambalaya mix) until chicken is evenly coated; stir in oil. (For best results, use saucepan with nonstick finish.)
  • 2 Cook chicken uncovered over medium-high heat about 8 minutes, turning chicken over after 5 minutes, until dark brown on both sides. Stir in hot water, sauce mix and uncooked rice (from jambalaya mix), tomatoes and sausage. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 25 minutes, stirring once, until rice is tender.
  • 3 Stir in peanut butter. Cook about 2 minutes longer or until mixture is thickened. Cover; let stand about 5 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed.

Expert Tips

Freeze chicken breasts for up to 30 minutes, and they'll be much easier to cut.

    This was my favorite of your recipes when Chicken Helper jambalaya was available. Haven't been able to make it taste the same since the Jambalaya was pulled off shelves (the good news is that in this case, Zatarain's just isn't as good). Any possibility that Chicken Helper would bring back the Jambalaya?!!!

    I had to use the Zatarain's jambalaya mix as well and I added 2 cups of chicken stock to make it soupier. We doubled the peanut butter and used chunky. Next time I would add extra peanuts and some fresh cilantro on top. My whole family dug it.
