Really good. I do cook the rice seperate, that way I dont make glue, and you can make it hotter-I do!

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt shortening in a large/huge saucepan over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Cook chicken pieces until brown on all sides and cooked about half way through, around 20 minutes or so.
  3. 3
    Remove and add onion, green pepper, celery and garlic.
  4. 4
    Cook slowly stirring now and again until onions are tender.
  5. 5
    Add sausage and cook 10 min more.
  6. 6
    Return chicken and add all remaining ingredients EXCEPT rice and stir together well.
  7. 7
    Cover and simmer for 30 min stirring now and again.
  8. 8
    Remove cover and continue to cook until broth cooks down a bit-you don't want it too thick as the rice will soak up the juice.
  9. 9
    Serve up the rice in bowls and ladle the Jambalaya on top, and offer more cayenne or tabasco at the table.
  10. 10
    ***Iknow that cooking the rice on the side and not in the dish will cause some to have a heart attack, but I've found the flavor much better this way, IMHO.

I made this recipe with a couple friends and it came out great! There was plenty to go around, and we had the option to make it as spicy or mild as we wanted. Excellent.

    EXCELLENT! When I've tried other jambalayas, I always felt like something was missing. This is so flavorful without being overdone. I made sure I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I also substituted one package of kielbasa for the andouille sausage, as I couldn't find andouille at any stores in my area. I used 3 chicken breasts cut into large cubes and the last 10 minutes of cooking I added two handfuls of precooked shrimp. Delicious! This is going straight to my favorite recipes file. Definitely something I would make for company. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! =)

    This was a great recipe for any level cook. I am by no means a culinary genius, and making this recipe was a cinch. I found that adding the hot sausages really gave this recipe a kick and complimented the cayenne well (while not being too hot). This is definitely a recipe that we are going to keep!!!

    Wow, this was sooooo good and I can't wait to make it again! I did make a couple of small changes...substituted diced ham for the chicken (only because I didn't have any chicken) and added shrimp. I'm going to make sure I have chicken the next time I make this. I always cook my rice separately also because DH doesn't eat rice.
