    I loved this recipe. I used diced tomatoes because I had them in my pantry and also used cajun seasoning instead of cayenne pepper. I need to buy cayenne pepper to avoid the salt added to the food but I didnt use salt in the recipe to negate the salt in the cajun seasoning. - 3/7/11

    Very Good
    This was delicious. I added a can of diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce and I also used brown rice. - 1/21/09

    Incredible!
    Ok, I used pre-cooked brown basmati rice which was delish, but instead of adding chicken broth to the jambalaya, since the rice was cooked in it, we added about 1/2 cup of water instead. This recipe was YUMMY! - 1/20/09

    Incredible!
    This is an excellent, excellent dish and so very easy to fix. I've been using it ever since I started the sparkpeople fitness plan. You'll feel like you're in Louisana no matter where you live. Enjoy - 1/11/09
