this was very easy however i left out the carrots and mushrooms i added fresh roasted garlic and several other things to season like hot pepper sauce , cajun seasoning and worchester sauce . to me it definetly needed more flavor to spice it up but it was easy not sure if i would make it again or not

Excellent! Even my husband liked it and he doesn't like "mixtures". Very flavorful.

I found this recipe a little bland. Also, the rice seemed to be a little mushy. I am not sure if it is me of my equipment - probably me, that everytime I try to make a rice dish it just doesn't turn out. I love Jambalaya but can never seem to make it at home succesfully.

The title was right, my husband loved this both times I made it. I followed some of the other reviews and added a can of diced tomatoes with chilies, okra, doubled the cayenne pepper and omitted the carrots.

Jambalaya doesn't have carrots in it ... is what my man says. :) He suggested more veggies and it would be great.

Family loved this. I added more cayenne pepper than stated and we sprinkled soy sauce over after serving. Definitely a keeper! Thanks.

Lowered the amount of chicken, added more veggies and some garlic, and added a little extra rice. Yum.

Just the recipe I was looking for, to take to next week's Pot Luck. My family rated it "best ever Jambalaya"! I replaced some of the broth with a tin of chopped tomato and doubled the mushrooms. After browning the chicken breast, I kept it warm and added it 10 minutes before the end, to prevent overcooking. I also gave the Jambalaya 10 minutes standing time, before serving.

This is really good, but if you like your Jambalaya spicy you'll need to add some heat to it. My kids don't like spicy food(yet!)so this was just right for them. To give it more flavor I added shrimp, one can of Rotel tomatoes, and used fresh mushrooms. I will definitely make this again!

Made this for the very first time that anyone in my family (including myself) had tasted jambalaya. I wasn't ASKED to make it again --- I was TOLD that I would. It was even a big hit with my 3yo grand daughter who is a picky eater.

Thanks for the great recipe - we really enjoyed it! I think, for our spicy tastes, it would have been a bit bland, but we spiced it up a little and it was excellent! I added extra onion and chopped up 2 cloves of garlic and fried it with the onions. I left out the mushrooms. I also (made it scaled to 4 servings) added 1 full tbsp. cayenne and 2 tbsp cajun seasoning, and finally I had about 1 cup of stewed tomatoes left from something else I was cooking, and I threw this in. I added a little extra rice to compensate for the extra liquid, but not much because we were actually happy that it wasn't all absorbed at the end. My husband loves his gravy! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

Quick to make, easy and super tasty. I added 2 large cloves garlic, diced and about 1 1/2 cups frozen okra--thrown in for the last 7 minutes. My 12 yr old son says 10 stars! By the way, this makes a TON of food! I only made 1/2 the recipe and have LOTS of yummy leftovers.

Very good recipe! Makes A LOT....instead of canned mushrooms, I sauteed 8 oz of sliced fresh and added them to the meat mixture. My husband likes Jambalaya more liquid, so I added more chicken stock after completing the cooking. Had some to freeze and leftovers for a couple of days. Tasty!!

I asked the butcher for smoked sausage and he gave me andouille susage which was good. I made the recipe as stated and found the sausage gave heat but the meal lacked flavor.

I used about 1 1/2 Tblsp of Minor's Chicken base to the 6 cups of water and only 1 1/2 cups of the rice. No added salt as the sausage and chicken base took care of that. I did sprinkle the chicken pieces with a little of Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic. The rice soaked up every bit of the broth. The dish was flavorful but not spicy in any way. I will reheat it and add in a little Bayou Blast to liven it up. I've made heavier rice/chicken casseroles that were loaded with extra calories and not nearly as flavorful as this was. I couldn't find my little bag of frozen tail-less shrimp or that would have gone in also. Sausage was skinless. Makes a lot and would be a great take-along dish for a potluck. Enjoyed all the suggestions especially the one about adding tomatoes. Will make this again. It's a good dish to turn the grandkids loose with and let them season to their own preference. I did use the carrots .... about a good handful of baby carrots which I chopped finely in the food processor. They added flavor and were thoroughly cooked.

Loved it. Did change the recipe a bit. Chicken sausage... more onion, a ton more spice and heat. The aroma stuck in the house overnight and I dreamed about it!
