Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya - EASY One Pot Dinner

I linked Tony Chachere's Creole spice and my homemade Cajun spice in the description. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

Imagine having a dad that cooks like this. His son is lucky! I'm 37 years old, are you looking to adopt more kids?

Jim matches the chair in the living room again! Awesome!

Bring it to a boil, turn the fire to lowest temp, cover and set a timer for 20 minutes. Don’t lift the lid. Turn the fire off at 20 minutes and rest it for 10 to 15 minutes. I have never burned may jambalaya. Learned from my mother, grandmother. Whole family. It works.

Tony Chachere’s is pronounced “Sash-uhh-ree’s” in South Louisiana. French words and names trip everybody up.

Long time Louisiana resident here married to a great Cajun cook. We don’t leave the tails on the shrimp. Take them off. Been enjoying your video. Keep up the good work!

I'm from the deep south, not far from New Orleans. Honest to God people have been shot and killed over disagreements about how to make jambalaya. This comes close but technically it would be Creole jambalaya, as Cajun jambalaya doesn't include tomatoes. I'd also add either a half teaspoon of file' powder or some okra for thickening. Overall good job though.

Whatever site told you hot dogs were an option needs to be quarantined. Any beef or pork SMOKED sausage will do as a substitute. Chicken or turkey get very close to cheap bologna and yes I will eat cheap bologna happily just not as a replacement for sausage. Add crustaceans and mollusks to your liking but fish will fall apart and cuts of meat will be extremely tough in most of these LA one pot dishes. Save those for other dishes such as smothered pork chops or chicken.

Jim- Of all the internet chefs, your instructions are the easiest to follow & the results are always on point. I appreciate your videos so much because I have never enjoyed cooking & now it is like second nature to me. The first of your recipes that I made was chicken parmesan, & it was the first time it came out perfectly. Coincidentally, I made it last night for dinner. I am absolutely hooked on your stuffed peppers, beef barley soup/stew (it is exactly like my Mom's), & linguine with canned clams. Thank you & Tara again for all your wonderful recipes. I look forward to more of them. Send my regards to James & Sammy.

Please note that this is coming from a real cajun; You done good 👍🏻 Some ingredients are even hard to get unless you shop from a boat. We have a huge hunting and make do culture… I wonder how most subscribers would feel about snake or gator… trust me those are the everyday options I won’t mention the others… Don’t know about the green onions? Andouille sausage is a must though. Things I would be interested in seeing you take a shot at are King Cake, Boudin, and real Dirty Rice with chicken livers… A personal favorite is Fried Catfish Smothered In Crawfish Etouffee… but then you would have the keys to World 🌎 Domination… It made me miss home, only thing missing was you didn’t have a drink in your other hand… Thank You 🙏🏻 You and Laissez les bons temps rouler

Made my day to have James as taste tester….i always enjoy his remarks, he always gives his honest opinion…Tara does too but James is my favorite….does he do any cooking? I hope one day to see him in the kitchen cooking a special dish….

I usually use Portuguese Chorizo. Great spicy flavour. I love Jambalaya.

Please do a podcast on the current food quality we are all experiencing. I'm shocked and appalled at how low our food quality has become in the last 20 years; worse in the last 5 years. In the last 5 years, I've cooked everything from scratch - no shortcuts - and I feel better plus my family benefits from healthier meals. Growing my own vegetables is on the horizon too. So, please tell us what y'all have experienced in the North East in food quality at your groceries. I'm in Texas and food quality is deteriorating. God bless you and your beautiful family and please keep sharing your culinary skills with us.

You gotta brown that andouille first before that chicken, that way you brown the chicken in the sausage fat. Taste is crazy that way.

This is the funniest thing, because a few days ago I thought how you surely had a jambalaya video, but you didn’t— it was only gumbo I was thinking of. And now here you are!

Since they are from Louisiana, I followed the Duck Dynasty recipe for Jambalaya. Basically the same as this one, but the only difference is once you have everything in the pot (except the rice) bring to a boil, take off the heat and add the rice. Stir the pot every 3 minutes 10 times. Turned out great!!!

There's something so homey and comforting when sausages and hotdogs are sliced into discs.

I love the Canadian dinner jacket.

Looks delicious. I love your recipes and am very impressed with the descriptions James uses in his taste tests. I enjoy watching the podcast episodes. Very relatable.

Thanks for this recipe! Taste test and critique with the son at the end is great. Going to try making this for Father’s Day dinner tonight
