It's one of those dishes like chili, gumbo and curry that have many variations, and you can adjust the spice level to your liking. I would consider most jambalaya recipes to be in the mild to moderate spice level.

Looks very tasty !

Uncle Ben's White Rice?

Appreciate you explaining, sometimes this old body balks at spicy foods, but it looks good in the OP's kettle.

Oh brother does that ever look good!! I just got a new cast iron casserole pan/Dutch oven been thinking about what I should make for its maiden voyage. You have given me a idea!

Sample 1 quart jar sent overnight to Mississippi or it didn't happen....

I,too, was a Justin fan. I got a great jambalaya recipe from a cooking school that I signed up for in New Orleans. The weather is finally cooling down here in So. Az. and it is time for those kind of dishes to be prepared.....YUM!!

Justin Wilson belongs in the “Do you remember when” thread. I remember when he was just a standup comic with record albums. He and Brother Dave Gardner were my favorites. I got a bunch of his albums for free once. I had an uncle that owned a small A.M. radio station. On of his DJs played JW’s albums one night. My uncle got a call from the FCC at 2 in the morning about the inappropriate content being broadcast on his station. I got 6-7 albums the next day as a result.

I would post mine but I don't really measure the spices so it's hard to share

Tip: the sausage flavor and heat are very important. The sausage gives up it's flavor to the chicken and rice, leaving the sausage bland. To make the jambalaya or gumbo especial, replace the spent sausage with fresh sauteed sausage near the end of the cook. I slice up two pounds of sausage, saute, then divide.

Looks kind of soupy for a Jambalaya . More like a Gumbo . Not criticizing , just an observation . I'm sure it was great .

this will stew in its own spicy juices (in the fridge when it cools) until tomorrow.

IOW, it ain't finished in that photo.

"I tear 'em up too damn bad, I garontee."

The thing about Wilson, as with all great story tellers, is that the entertainment is in the telling itself.

Jambalaya and Red Beans and Rice are my two favorite Cajun dishes. Yours looks great and is definitely inspiring to make a good batch of both soon!
