Made this many times now. It's easy and tasty, and a regular in our house. I mostly follow the recipe as stated, more or less. But I use a hot Chorizo sausage instead of chicken, and put the sausage in at the start of the simmering, to extract lots of flavour.

All the ingredients are there to make this a really great dish, but this did not turn out well at all. I had to add sugar to it to bring down the acidity. The seasonings were off as well. My bf and I always like what we have cooked from this site, but this time, we both agreed--this was not good. My suggestion to the person who wants to make this still is cut back on the thyme maybe and use real garlic instead of garlic salt.

This is the first time I've ever made Jambalaya and it turned out pretty good! For the chicken I diced 3 chicken breasts and seasoned them with "Creole Seasoning Blend" from this site. I then sauteed them in olive oil and then set them aside to add later. I like to use brown rice, so I baked it in the oven with chicken broth and added the finished rice to the tomato mixture along with the chicken and let it all simmer together for about 10 minutes. Easy, healthy and spicy!

Great! I made this last night and followed the directions almost exactly- except that I used canned tomatoes that come with onions, celery, and green pepper... I used the whole can of chicken broth [which is only slightly more than the 1 1/2 cups the recipe calls for]... I used red pepper flakes instead of hot sauce like another reviewer suggested... and to save time, I used Tyson's premium canned chicken and used 2 cans of that- which I think is slightly more than the 2 cups of chicken the recipe calls for. When I turned the heat down after I brought it to a boil, I brought it down to medium. At first, I stirred it fairly frequently, but in the last 10 minutes, I didn't stir it much at all. A little of it stuck to the bottom, so next time I'll either make sure to stir it more often or possibly turn the heat down more.

YUM YUM YUM! This is a staple at our house! We skip the celery, because we never have it on hand, and also the thyme for the same reason. Although this last time I actually DID have thyme, and we decided we like it better without. I sometimes add extra veggies (peas or cauliflower) to replace the celery. It is good with or without! Otherwise, I follow the recipe exactly and this is one yummy dinner!

If you've got lots of stuff and little time, this recipe is for you! I didn't have bell peppers, so I used baby carrots. I didn't have a 14.5 oz. can of tomatoes, but I did have two gargantuan tomatoes from the garden. Threw it all together. Cooked one cubed chicken breast in Chef Prudhomme's cajun spices (just a pinch) and, I kid you not, this was ready in under 30 minutes! Do yourself a favor! Double the servings and enjoy!

I've never had jambalaya before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I read the other reviews and this looked like the one to try. I loved it! I always put my own personal touches on recipes and this was no exception. I used a whole chopped onion and the entire can (14.5 ounces) of chicken broth. I also added chopped smoked beef sausage and cooked with the tomatoes, rice and other ingredients. After the rice was tender, I added the chicken which I had boiled and shredded. It was great. Even my brother, who is a picky eater, ate two bowls. Thank you, Suzanne, for a great recipe. It's going in my collection.

I made a vegetarian version of this with seitan, and it turned out delicious. I will certainly be using this recipe again. I was out of celery, so I substituted mixed vegetables and a liberal sprinkling of celery seed, which turned out very well, too.

Loved how easy this was to make! I changed only a couple of things. I made a roux (equal parts butter and flour) to start and I wisked it until brown. Then I followed the directions with the excption of I added fresh garlic and onion flakes (my husband dose not eat fresh onion)! I'll make this again!

Only changes I made were to add some sausage and Herbes de Provence, and use fresh tomatoes instead of canned. Very easy and tasty dish. I wish I could have made it spicier, but my son wouldn't have liked it. I stirred some hot sauce into my portion and it tasted great!

This was really good! It was fast and easy to prepare and it tasted delicious! I'm not sure about its "authenticity," but I will definitely make it again; I even emailed the recipe to all my friends. I especially like it because it didn't make a HUGE quantity- which is great for single folks like me. I like spice, so I doubled the amount of hot sauce - next time I would probably even use more!

So great and super easy. I was cooking for a lot of people and wanted to use a limited amount of meat to cut costs. I used one chicken breast cubed and one link of smoked turkey sausage. I also used canned tomatoes with bell peppers and onions (but I still added the fresh veggies too) I threw the meat in with the veggies to brown and used olive oil instead of butter and fresh garlic instead of garlic salt. I couldnt add the hot sauce because thier were children eating but put some Franks on top in my bowl and it was AMAZING. Everyone had seconds. Even my friends two year old.

Very good! If you do not have hot pepper sauce on hand, here's what to try. Add 3 tbsp of vinegar, 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce, garlic, and ground cayenne pepper. If you're brave add some actual hot peppers. I had a wee Thai chili on hand and threw that in there, which was overkill. My Jambalaya is really good, but pretty much ridiculously spicy.

I too doubted this recipe based on the ingredients but it's excellent and surprisingly easy and fast. I used fresh garlic and fresh grape tomatoes (they explode as the heat - yummy). I also left out the celery since I didn't have any. I had some frozen chicken tenders so I just threw them in with the rice (still frozen) and they all finished cooking together. I didn't add the hot sauce because of the kids. I served theirs with ketchup and ours with hot sauce. Everyone loved it - even the two year old. Thank you!

I didn't expect much from reading the ingredients, but it turned out really yummy. I cooked bacon first, removed the bacon and cooked the veggies in the bacon grease. I added the bacon back in at the end. I also used fresh tomatoes rather than canned tomatoes.
