OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I am so excited about this recipe, and I have to admit that I have never had jambalaya before because I was intimidated by the name. This is not the case anymore! I followed the recipe to a T, but needed to add just a tad bit more water than asked for. Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe.

I was a tad bit disappointed in this recipe.It was spicy enough for us but also a bit bland.I made it as written.The addition of either an extra can of tomatoes or perhaps tomato sauce might be a good idea.

Oh my goodness, it is so good. I used chicken stock, and added the drippings from the roasted chicken for extra flavor. It was so delicious. Everyone in my family loved it.
