Having a cousin who's a pork producer is a bonus when looking for great recipes. This slightly spicy entree turns out perfectly every time.

This was such an awesome recipe. My dad orked off shore in New Orleans for several years. He said it was the best he has had since that time almost 30 years.

This is very good! The only changes that I made was to add a little extra chicken (12 oz.), diced the celery instead of slicing and cooked the onions, celery and peppers for a few minutes instead of 1 minute. I used 1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper and this had just the right bite of spice! Will make again!

This is a simple yet delicious version of Jambalaya that my family loved! The only change I made was to use chicken sausage (seasoned with garlic and sage) in place of the pork sausage. This is my favorite Jambalaya recipe to date.
