Hi Rosie,
On this dish, how much Shrimp & Smoked sausage do we need? It only say’s “1/2” next to both items.
Thanks !
I fixed it. Thanks for bring that to my attention. It’s a 1/2 pound of each.
Hi Rosie…For the chicken, should I use boneless skin less breast or can I use any part? Should it be cooked or raw? Thanks
Hi Yvette. The chicken is raw when place into the Slow cooker. Use whatever chicken piece, or pieces that you’d like to use.
So use Raw?
Yes. You place raw chicken into the slow cooker. The slow cooker is going to cook the chicken hun.
Thank u…I read it wrong 🙂
hello, I just want to thank you so much for this website and this recipe specifically. i am a Sailor in the NAVY and i stay in the barracks/dorm room, and its been a while since i have food like this, and i was just thinking of making some jambalaya but using a microwave, but i did some research and found you after watching a video about stuffed bell peppers using a crock pot by the youtube channel OLDMANCOOKING, he gave you a shout out and the rest is history 🙂
i am going to the store today to get my crock pot and the ingredients for the jambalaya, stuffed bell peppers, stew, etc. again thank you.
First off let say, I am SO SORRY for the late reply!! I truly apologize! I’m glad that you found me. If you ever have any recipe request, let me know!
Rosie, can this recipe be adapted for the stovetop? If so, can you tell me the adaptation procedures, because, my crockpot is not working. Thanks.
Hello Rosie! I simply love your recipes. Rosie, I’m thinking about making your Jambalaya Stew for my church group of 15 people. How do I determine how many onions? How many Carrots? How many pounds of chicken and Sausage? How much chicken stock, etc. Help? Thanking you in advance.

Hi Joe. You may have to triple all the ingredients.
Is there any chance you’ll make this into your easy to print recipe cards? I love your recipes and have been cooking your dishes to feed me and my roommates for a couple years now and sometimes I’m convinced it is the only reason they keep me around. 😛
Hi Emjae! I fixed made it into a recipe card for ya! XOXO
