    Can substitute chicken bouillon paste for chicken stock.

    I've made this recipe at least 10 times, it is our go-to jambalaya recipe now. I almost never bother with the shrimp and often will leave out the chicken thighs too, so I only have to source one kind of protein (I still use all the spices it calls for, but add them in towards the end of sautéing the vegetables). Still delicious and filling.

    Easy and tasty. I used half the chile peppers in deference to my son; my husband and I added Tabasco to our servings. Although I used 1 1/4 cups rice, the jambalaya was still a bit wetter than expected, although not unpleasantly so.

    Not as enamored of this as others. Thought it was just okay. Easy one-pot meal, but I'll stick with Paul Prudhomme's jambalaya recipes which are first cooked stovetop and then baked.

    This was time consuming (almost two hours start to finish) but worth it. I did make 1.5 times the quantity as my packs of chicken thighs and andouille warranted it so there was more chopping than the recipe if you do the set amount. I skipped the cayenne and it was still plenty spicy. I didn't add the shrimp as with chicken and andouille it felt unnecessary. Really enjoyable and a definite repeat.

    My favorite recipe in the book! Easy, hearty, super flavorful, and feeds a crowd (or makes plenty of leftovers if you're only cooking for two). I don't even find that it needs the shrimp because there's a lot of protein in there already compared to the amount of rice. But I usually still add it because who doesn't love shrimp?

    Easy and flavorful, the whole family enjoyed this one

    This was great!! Left out the chilli so it was more kid friendly and used chorizo instead of andouille sausage. Reheated brilliantly for lunch the next day too. Will be making this again.
