Oven-Baked Jambalaya. A sixteen-serving batch of Creole classic! Chicken, ham, shrimp, and Andouille sausage are combined with onion celery, green pepper and garlic. Tomatoes, chicken stock and rice are stirred in, and the whole thing is baked in a large roasting pan.
I use Emeril's Bayou Blast seasoning to spice it up (we like it pretty spicy). It is great with a big green salad and a loaf of french bread for a complete meal. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. You can cook Oven-Baked Jambalaya using 14 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Jambalaya Ingredients: Alright, let's talk ingredients. To make classic jambalaya, you will need: The Cajun/Creole "holy trinity": Celery, onion and green bell pepper (although for some extra color, I've also used red and yellow bell peppers). Feel free to add more or less of either, depending on your heat preferences. Impress your family and friends when you serve this classic and flavorful Creole dish and best of all, it's easily made in the oven. I brought a huge roaster pan full to a neighborhood fish fry and needless to say, there were no leftovers.
