Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 ounces Andouille sausage, sliced
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or 2 breasts) cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, divided
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 cups (1 can) chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or other hot sauce)

Directions
- Turn Instant Pot to “Saute” and add oil to inner pot. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add chicken and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside with sausage.
- Add onion, celery, and red pepper and cook until onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Turn Instant Pot off so it can cool down before pressure cooking. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute with residual heat.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning, thyme, salt, tomatoes, rice, broth, bay leaves, and Tabasco sauce. Stir in sausage and chicken. Completely de-glaze pot before pressure cooking.
- Turn Instant Pot to Pressure Cook/High (or Manual) for 7 minutes. Be sure valve is in “Sealing” position.
