This is so good. My family doesn't like shrimp so I left it out. The dish was still delicious and easy to make. I didn't have to go purchase anything extra to make this.I did use 3 cups of homemade chicken broth and added water as needed. We will definitely have this dish more often at my house.

My Boyfriend LOVES this! He loves it even more when I make it spicier for him. Ive only had jambalaya once or twice but hes had many different types and he swears this one is the best hes ever had.

Talk about comfort food!! It's warm, spicy, but not too spicy, and filling. I substitute boneless chicken thighs/breasts for the whole chicken. I've made this dish several times for company, and everyone always leaves with the recipe! The leftovers taste even better after having time to "mellow" the flavors.

Very very good! The only things that I changed were to use a little more rice and I used chicken broth instead of water.

I have been making this recipe for a couple years now. I actually do it a little different though. I just throw all the ingredients in the Crockpot in the morning and its ready when we get home around 6:00. The flavor is unbelievable! It’s a family favorite.

I have been eating Cajun food my whole life but this recipe beats any jambalaya I have ever eaten. I have been serving it for guests for almost a year now and without exception I have never had leftovers. This is the best jambalaya I have ever enjoyed. My guest and I thank you so much. This has become the favorite meal to be served at least once a month for our family home evenings.

I expected this to be good given all the 5-star reviews, but there was definitely something missing from this recipe. I could taste plenty of spice, but it lacked any depth or complexity. I would next time try boiling the rice separately in chicken broth and then folding everything together (it took forever to get the rice moist. I also added a little tomato paste and mesquite for flavoring, which seemed to help a bit.

So very flavorful! Really easy to prepare too. I prepped during the day to make for friends coming for dinner. It was easy to do and still gave me time to sit and talk while it was cooking. I did cheat a little and bought pre-cooked shrimp which I threw in at the very last minute. This is a keeper!
