I got this recipe from a family recipe book after I got married. I’ve adapted it to my own and it has been one of our favorite recipes over the years. This is a bit of a different take on your normal southern jambalaya. It’s made with chicken and breakfast sausage instead of shrimp. It is still packed with delicious flavor and is one of my favorite comfort foods. We love it any time of the year, but it’s especially tasty and comforting on a cold winter night.

You can enjoy this meal with a side of fresh bread or a salad, but it is also filling enough by itself.

This one pot meal is easy to prepare and comes together in about 30 – 45 minutes.
