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.
