Instant Pot Jambalaya

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE my instant pot. It makes dinner a breeze and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever make rice another way. One of the first things I made when my I bought it was Instant Pot Jambalaya, and I’ve never looked back. It comes together so quickly and is packed with flavor. It’s the perfect balance of protein, carbs and veggies which makes it a must-have meal in my house full of teenage athletes.

To make this classic jambalaya, start by pre-heating the Instant Pot. You can do this by turning the Instant Pot to sauté mode and allowing it to heat up for 2-3 minutes before adding the olive oil.

Add the onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Then, add the remaining ingredients and stir well.

Place the lid on the instant pot, turn the venting knob to “sealing.” Cook the jambalaya on high pressure for 4 minutes. Allow the pressure to release for 10 minutes then quickly release the remaining pressure.

Serve this Instant Pot Jambalaya with a side of bread and butter and enjoy!
