I am a Cajun from south Louisiana. Using 2 cans of chicken stock would make this recipe very salty. I would use no more than 1/2 cup of stock and the remaing water to make the 2 cup measure.

I discovered this little gem years ago and it quickly became my "go to" recipe for not only Jambalaya but good "company" food. It's quick and easy to make, doubles nicely for a crowd, has the perfect amount of spice and seems fussy and fancy. Serve it with cornbread and sit back as the compliments come pouring in. My thanks to Sandra for sharing her recipe with us.

:) Mmmm, yummy!
