2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup uncooked long grain rice

Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and paprika. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium-high heat until juices run clear. Remove chicken and set aside.

This was a great recipe for jambalaya, very easy to follow and uses simple ingredients. I used andouille sausage and diced white onion and peppers. Great flavor!

This jambalya has a great taste to it. I made some minor changes - I used chopped white onions instead of the green onions & used chicken thighs instead of breasts. I used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper & that had just the right amount of spiciness for my family's tastes.

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.
