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.

Good recipe! My husband REALLY liked it... I on the other hand didn't care too much about the canned tomatoes, but that's just personal preference. Next time i'll try fresh tomatoes... thanks for a good & easy recipe!

Very good, but had to add about 5x the hot sauce.

Fantastic! And easy! My husband has been asking me to make jambalaya since having it at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I was excited to find this version that did not include andouille.I sauteed the chicken in the skillet and then removed it and sauteed the veggies. I also added the seasoning with the veggies as they softened.It had a kick but was exactly as I would have expected of jambalaya. I will definately make this again!

This was so easy! My whole family loved it. There were't any leftovers. I did keep out the hot sauce and just put it on mine. I would make this again and bring it to a pot luck!

Delicious ... I added a small can of tomato paste, about 1/4 cup white vinegar, 4 small chopped green chilies and some sliced baby zuchini. One piece of advice: parboil the rice while you chop the veggies, otherwise it can take a REALLY long time to cook, especially at high altitudes.

Yummy. The first time I made this recipe I followed it exactly and it was good. I made it again tonight and instead of using white rice I used the small 5 oz. package of Vigo yellow rice and the whole 14 ounces of chicken broth. Very moist and much tastier.

Super yummy! I was just searching for something with ingredients I had, and I stumbled across this. It was very good. The only things I did differently were substituting red and yellow peppers for green (not a green pepper fan), and I used Trader Joe's frozen Jasmine Rice. I cooked it first and cut the broth by half. I'm glad a had a non-stick pan, otherwise the rice would've stuck, but that's my fault. The kids and husband loved it! I will definitely make this again. Thanks.

I converted the recipe to make 6 servings, so I'd be sure to have leftovers, and I am very glad I did. Followed the recipe with the exception of omitting the green peppers. I also added some minced garlic (about a tsp), a couple of dashes of liquid smoke, and some cajun seasoning mix. It had *just* enough kick to it! Thanks for the recipe!

Oh my, I've just made this and it turned out amazing! I left out the celery and used 1 1/2 tbls of jalapeno pepper relish instead of the hot pepper sauce but otherwise stuck to the recipe and it was so good. Just the right amount of liquid for the rice (had my doubts in the beginning) and just the right mix and amounts of spices. Will definitely be making this again, and again.
