Simple to prepare but it is lacking some flavor compared to the other jambalayas I make. Instead of garlic salt, I used seasoning salt and fresh minced garlic. Also, I cooked the rice separately and added in the end. I also added additional creole seasoning and may go ahead and put andouille sausage in as well. I think this would be good for kids because it isn't that spicy.

The rice took forever to cook. I may go against all that is in me and use minute rice next time. I used sausage instead of chicken. My husband loves it.

This recipe was very good and fairly easy to make. I do not think I can say it is a true jambalaya . . . being that it has tomatoes it is more like a gumbo, but it is very good nonetheless. I didn't have any diced tomatoes so I substituted stewed tomatoes. Also didn't have hot sauce so instead I used cajun seasoning and red pepper flakes. I also found that i needed just a bit more liquid than was specified for the recipe, so I added a bit of white wine to the chicken broth. I also use geen onions or leeks when I have them on hand. Delicious.

This recipe was GREAT! Very quick and easy to make. I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned, jalepenos and tobasco. We loved it and plan to make it again!

This is a quick, easy meal to make. I used shrimp & smoked sausage instead of the chicken. Since I used instant rice, I did reduce the broth (could use just water) to 2/3c also. Next time I'll try bacon grease instead of the butter. Served with cornbread, this meal was very filling.

I invited a guest to my home for dinner who was from Alabama. This was the request for dinner and I had never made it before. Allrecipes to the rescue. My guest had 2 servings and said it tasted like Mom's! I did add about a pound of raw shrimp just before serving as well as a broiled, hot sausage. It was great! Thanks. CS, Kaysville, Utah

Delicious! For those of us who like a little more kick to food, I recommend using diced tomatoes with jalapeño peppers!

This recipe was okay, not a big fan of spicy food so I ommitted the hot sauce, used red pepper flakes instead. I would recommend more thyme and basil to the recipe.

Easy to make, especially good if you like spicy food. A bit on the hot side if you don't.

Thank You..Thank You...Thank You. I have found so many "Jambalaya" recipes that add really strange and non traditional ingredients and then forget what makes Jambalaya what it is...the spices. This is the first recipe in a long time that I have seen that remembers to put Thyme in the list of ingredients. It turned out wonderful! Hats off to you Suzanne!
