Delicious, very tasty, even my teenager liked it and he is a very picky eater...hubby asked for seconds...another picky eater...will for sure make it again.

momofpsi-12 g. of carbs per serving IS a low carb dish by anyone's standards. Please be polite. Jambalaya purists-I appreciate your sharing what makes jambalaya authentic! I love Cajun food. For this recipe, the cook is using a mere 2 cups of rice for 12 servings-that's 1/6 cup of rice per serving. That's what helps it to be lower carb and why the recipe is more like gumbo. I'm excited to try it, because I love the flavors of Cajun cooking--it's OK with me if I can enjoy a taste of Cajun while keeping my carbs under control.

Too spicy! Plus it is NOT low carb--there's nothing low carb about rice. It I want gumbo, I'll make gumbo.

I agree with the one review it looks more like a gumbo but it still looks good and I look forward to trying it. One question what is Tony Chacheres and is by all the other spices?

Very good flavor. I agree with a previous reviewer that the 1 tsp. cayenne is too much. I used 1/2 tsp. and it was very spicy - and I like spicy food. Skipped the salt and did not have any flavor loss. Will make this again and try adding okra as suggested by another reviewer.

this is not jambalaya-but a gumbo. Jambalaya is a rice dish that does not have a soup like base. your liquids are soaked up by the rice. I come from Louisiana and make gumbo and jambalaya all the time

This recipe is somewhat similar to my own, but I prefer my version: I reduce the amount of cayenne pepper, add Tony Chachere's seasoning, chopped bell pepper and onion. I also use Andouille sausage instead of Polish sausage, and add a small amount of white wine and a pinch of sugar (if needed).

We love this recipe. I substitued pre-cooked chicken strips for the chicken and also replaced all of the spices with Tony Chacheres instead. Delicious!!

My only change was to add 8oz. of okra so my family would get a vegetable.
