Instant Pot Brown Rice Jambalaya Recipe

Before you make this recipe make sure to head over and read on how to cook brown rice in the instant pot.

It is slightly different than cooking white rice in the instant pot. If you are not a brown rice fan, simply switch it for white rice and viola you are good to go!

I personally love to make our Instant Pot Jambalaya with Chicken, Andouille Sausage, and Shrimp.These three items though are completely optional so feel free to leave any them out if you desire. I know when I tend to make this for my kids we leave out the shrimp and it tastes just as delicious.

One item though that you cannot leave out is the Tony Chacheres Creole Seasoning. It definitely adds a depth of flavor that you shouldn’t skip!
