Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: slice the bell pepper and celery, dice the onion and finely mince the garlic. Put them in a large bowl with the diced tomatoes, rice and oil.
2. Slice the sausage into small rounds, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add both to the bowl.
3. Season with 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, salt, pepper and all the spices, and toss until evenly mixed.
4. Cut six 16-inch sheets of heavy duty foil and lay them flat.
5. Divide the jambalaya evenly among the sheets, about 2 cups of filling in the centre of each.
6. Make a small lip along the length of each sheet, then pour 1/3 cup chicken broth into each packet.
7. Bring the long sides up over the food, double fold the ends, leaving room inside for heat, then double fold the short ends to seal.
8. Place the packets on a large baking sheet.
9. Preheat the grill to 550°F for 10 to 15 minutes until the grates are hot.
10. Place the packets on the grates seam side up, spaced apart, and grill with the lid closed for about 28 minutes, turning them every 6 to 7 minutes.
11. To check, open one packet carefully with tongs; if the rice is not cooked, reseal and keep cooking.
12. Remove the packets and rest them 5 to 7 minutes, then open carefully and shape the foil into a bowl.
13. Toss the rice, meat and sausage together, squeeze lime juice over and top with extra cilantro.
