CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA

We live about an hour away from the Louisiana border so to say that the cajun culture is prominent around here would be an understatement. This jambalaya is so flavorful and full of the goods! I would say that if you are hesitant about your rice not cooking then just cook it separately and stir together afterwards, as much as I cook this does sometimes happen to me!
