    Excellent! This recipe seems like it would take a long time to put together but chopping the veggies is the hardest part. I used chicken tenderloins instead of thighs but otherwise made as posted. The smell coming form the oven was wonderful. This makes a ton of jambalaya so it would be perfect for a potluck or party. Thanks for posting a keeper!

    Wonderful dish! Always a hit. The long ingredient list seems intimidating but the complete product is well worth it. I omited the baking part. After bringing to a boil, simmer for 25 minutes. Add shrimp, parsley and green onion, cover and cook for another 10 minutes.

    I made this in the crockpot and it was wonderful. Since we are on low carb, I left out the rice entirely. And served as a Jambalaya stew. I did brown the chicken in oil before adding to crockpot. Then added all the rest of the ingredients except the shrimp and cooked for 5 hours on low. Then added shrimp and cooked another hour.

    This was my first time to make Jambalaya and I am sur glad I used your recipe! Wonderful flavor. I used Mennonite sausage instead of andouille (can't find it here) and 3/4 tsp cayenne. Used prawns sausage & cooked chicken chunks WOW thanks SueL I'll cook this again. Served it with Fried Okra and Collard greens
