Heart-Healthy Cajun Jambalaya

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened.

Step 2

Add the pre-cooked chicken breast and turkey sausage to the pot. Stir in the turmeric and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Stir in the brown rice, quinoa, and bone broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped kale, diced tomatoes, and shrimp. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the rice is tender.

Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let the jambalaya stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, garnish with pumpkin seeds, and serve hot.
