Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Brown the sausage for 2 minutes. Remove.
In the same pot, cook the 'holy trinity' (onion, celery, bell pepper) for 5 minutes. Add garlic and Cajun seasoning, cook 1 minute.
Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, bay leaves, and the browned chicken and sausage. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Tip: Don't peek or stir during the 20 minutes. The rice needs undisturbed steam to cook properly.
Nestle the shrimp into the rice, cover, and cook 5 more minutes until shrimp are pink and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork, remove bay leaves, and garnish with green onions.
