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.

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!!!

This was very good!!! I used chicken breasts, hot italian sausage and threw in some shrimp right at the very end. I used red pepper instead of green because that is all I had. Great flavour. I prefer the rice cooked seperatley as well. I will definatley make this again and again. Thanks for another great recipe Diana!

Very good AND the kids liked it too! I also used chicken breasts, hot sausage & some shrimp at the end. This one is definately a keeper. Thanks.

I made this for Easter dinner and it was a big hit! It is so yummy, and I like the fact that the rice is cooked separately. Instead of one whole chicken, I used about 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces. I'm not a fan of andouille sausage, so I opted for a mild chorizo. I guess I didn't use enough chicken because, while my dinner guests raved about this jambalaya, they all agreed that there was too much chorizo and that it overpowered the chicken. Question of opinion, I guess - I personally liked it with a lot of chorizo! Even so, I made this again a few days ago using only half the chorizo and 8 chicken breasts. Came out great, and my guests really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this recipe; it has found a permanent place in my cookbook!

I cooked this with the rice in it and it had a really nice consistancy, even the day after. I just added one more cup of stock and threw in 2 cups of white long grain rice. I also added some chopped ham.. It was absolutely amazing. I loved it. I'm going to make more and bring people over to fall in love with it too!

I've made this 3 times already and my family loves it. The third time I made it with brown rice with wonderful results as well. Thanks for such a great recipe!

Jambalaya made easy — and really, really good. I've made it three times in the past four weeks, and each time is better: I just used this recipe to enjoy Fat Tuesday. Thank you for posting!

This recipe was great! I've never made Jambalaya before, and this was incredibly easy and tasty. I used boneless chicken breasts, and cut the cayenne by half to suit our taste. Delicious! I think this is a new favourite.

My husband and I usually like very spicy foods but this was just too much! We used a moderate heat andouille and with the 1 tsp of cayenne, it was just scorching. Next time, we'll use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne and add more as needed. The base of the sauce was great, though. Thanks!
