If you can't find andouille sausage, substitute with smoked sausage or kielbasa for a similar flavor.
For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the seasoning mix.
Use long-grain white rice for the best texture and to avoid clumping.
Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
Yes, but you will need to adjust the cooking time and liquid ratio as brown rice takes longer to cook.
Can I make this dish vegetarian?
You can substitute the chicken and sausage with plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh, and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pot over low heat, adding a splash of stock if needed.
Can I freeze jambalaya?
Yes, you can freeze jambalaya in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
What can I serve with jambalaya?
