WOW! This was good! I made this with Trader Joe's cajun chicken sausage and it worked well. When finished, this easily filled a 9 x 13 serving dish and fed 8-10 people.

My boyfriend gave this 5 stars, I gave it 4. I prefer a saucier Jambalaya, but this was really good, too. We added jalapenos for extra spice, and used hot italian sausage. We call this Couples Jambalaya because we made it together (awww, how cute).

Update: 3-18-2009 I halved the recipe since there are only two of us. I used 2 cups leftover chopped up turkey for the the chicken. I sauteed the onion and then added 3 links of hot Italian turkey sausage raw and cooked until almost done. Then I followed the recipe adding the other elements and actually using real rice this time. I added a little more garlic powder and tabasco than it says for half a recipe and I used frozen already peeled/cooked shrimp. When there were about 8 min. left I put the still frozen shrimp into the pot. They were medium sized so I would use less time or more depending on the size. It was much less watery and the leftovers were delicious (instead of tolerable). So easy and I still don't have an electric skillet but it was still very little clean up. 2-15 2007 I had no electric skillet and I didn't want to make as much as this said so my methods were a bit different. I took one large onion and sauteed in the oil. I used 2 boil in bag instant rice and boiled this and set aside. With the remaining water i dumped most and then added 1 can of chicken broth to about half a cup of the starchy water. I didn't have leftover chicken breast so I boiled that in the chicken breast and shredded it in th pan. While the chicken was boiling I took the entire pound of hot turkey sausage and browned it with the onion (crumbled) and one clove of garlic plus garlic powder. Once this was done I used one can of stewed tomatoes drained and added it to the sausage. Onc

Outstanding and simple dish. Cooks perfectly in an electic fry pan. To use brown rice be sure to cook at least 30 minutes and keep an eye on the liquid, you may have to add more. Also don't add the shrimp till the last 5 minutes.

As the famous "RR" would say, YUM-MO! Came out very hearty, we loved it! What we also love is sopping the juices up with bread, so I may skip draining the tomatoes and/or adding more broth next time. This would be great for a party. Will make this again & again. Thanks!

This was very very good. Had just the right amount of "bite". I only used one large onion however.

This is fantastic! I make this dish when I have company over and get many compliments on it. Very easy too. We leave out the shrimp and it is still delicious!

This was just ok for me. I made it exactly according to instructions and it turned out fine but there wasn't anything unique about it to separate it from the usual Jambalaya recipe.

This tastes really good. I added a can of diced tomatoes towards the end of cooking. Next time I will serve the sauce and rice separately so the rice doesn't get mushy.

This was really, really good. I used Spicey Italian sausages I also dribbled over with the 2 teasps of Hot sauce, there was really no need for that so next time I will use the amount recommended. I didn't have any Chicken broth so boiled the chicken and used the broth made by the chicken with some dried chives and parsley added. I also served limes wedges with the meal and sprinkled this over which gave an excellent flavour, I only had the really small limes so next time will use larger ones or lemon wedges. Thanks so much Jenny will use this again and again. Irene

WOW! I just finished cooking, and eating this, and it was amazing! I had to log on right away to do this review. Hubby made "yummy" noices all throughout eating his, and gave it 2 thumbs up, 10 stars, he can't wait to have more tomorrow! The only changes I made were to cook this in a wok, used sweet italian sausage instead of turkey and didn't drain the tomatoes. Thank you Jenny, I will be making this one often.

What a great recipe to "rekindle" my love for Jambalaya! I had to do some adjustments to use my dutch oven instead of the electric skillet. For my own taste, it needed a little more of a kick so I used some "old bay seasoning" and little extra cayenne pepper. Instead of the garlic powder I used fresh garlic cloves instead

Great recipe, made a few small changes. I made it on the stovetop. Used 2 cans chick broth instead of 3 cups. I also put in 3 stalks diced celery. Instead of already cooked chicken I added about 1lb raw chicken tenders cut in chunks. Ended up cooking it at a simmer for around an hour until the rice was tender. I added cooked shrimp at the end just before serving so it just warmed through. Will definitely add it to my list of regularly made recipes.

I loved this version of Jambalaya because I had most of the ingredients in the house already. I added some giardinara when cooking the chicken and sausage to spice the dish up even more. My husband loved it!

This was a super-delicious dish! The combination of juicy sausage, tender chicken and succulent shrimp really made it a complete meal. Instead of removing the casings from the sausage, I just cooked them and then chopped them into one inch slices. I also substituted real garlic for the garlic powder to give it a little more bite.
