The vibrant flavours of this recipe went down a treat! We really enjoyed this healthy yet flavourful dish, although I did add a little extra garlic and paprika! We'll definitely make this again!

I never had jambalaya, but I really wanted to try as I've seen the recipe a lot. This worked out great for us. Both kids enjoyed it, of course I left out the hot chili and I just sprinkled in my dish. I had no peas and I used white rice. For me it tasted Mexican and it's a great dish for kids. It's faster than the other rice dishes as it doesn't require to fry the veggies.A keeper for us.Thanks.

Great one pan meal! The kids really loved this one. I added about 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies instead of the peas, corn, and peppers. Added a bit of extra chicken broth as suggested as well. Put some Tony Chachere's Seasoning on at the table, YUM! Thanks so much for a keeper! Made for Rowdies, ZWT5.

Although not authentic, this was a nice meal. I followed the recipe except for leaving out the peas. This was an easy weekday meal with good flavour. Made for ZWT5 by a fellow Hell's Kitchen Angel.

For ZWT 5 the Dining Daredevils. Oh my gosh, this is so good! I put in two large garlic cloves (yes, I know it said one, but it was the last two of the head. The red onion was large and both added real flavour to the dish. I used canned peas and corn to the pot. All the ingredients put together made for a lovely colourful dish, as well.
