Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@TubeSurfer898]

Chef, I’m sorry so many people give you a hard time about “talking too much”. People have no attention span these days. I love to see you do every step of the recipe! Don’t let tik tok brains tell you how to make your videos! I want to see you pan seer the chicken and caramelize the onion! I’m new to all of these things, and it helps so much to see them so I can play the video in the kitchen while I’m cooking and follow along with you. I’m sure all of your loyal fans agree. We love your talking and explanations and stories! It makes you a person we can relate to, not just a live instruction manual with no personality!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you very much! It is comments like yours that make it all worthwhile! 😊

[@hazelpearson2975]

It's the mark of a GREAT TEACHER that takes the time to explain as well as demonstrate techniques & shares his knowledge & expertise

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Very well said.

[@dyan1965]

I'd rather listen to step by step instructions than another idiot on Tikki Tokki trying to cram a 30 minute dinner into 30 seconds.

[@BenJZehner]

@@ChefJeanPierre I watch you cause you break it down for us and give tips that most won't include. I learned a ton from your videos so keep doing what you do. I want to make videos like yours but more for beginners just can't get it started.

[@infectedvector]

One of the MAIN reasons I watch this channel is to hear Chef talk. Makes me laugh and brightens my day. The other reason is to get a recipe.

[@joshuaglaude1549]

I love that you talk through your videos. Your not just taking nonsense though. You are explaining things in detail, which some people need, like me. I don't cook often, but I like my food to be good, so I prefer videos like this over just a recipe book, you give the details that a book can't give. I've tried a few of your recipes and they always come out good because I have your video for the tips and trick books can't give. I usually need mess up recipes the first time if I'm going straight out of a book.

[@mmoore102]

Your talking is half the joy of your videos. Don’t change a thing. By far the best teaching cook on KZbin. Love your stuff….

[@rebeccabarbier8906]

My husband found your channel about a year ago and we love your recipes! I've recently become a stay at home mom, and now that my baby is older and I have more time, I cook your recipes as a thank you to my husband for working so hard to take care of us. We love everything you've made, and your style of teaching is so easy to follow. I did have a question about this recipe. I've made it twice, once on the stove top and once in the instant pot, but I can't get all the rice to cook all the way through. It could be me, but I've made lots of rice over the years and it turns out well. However, I've never made 8 cups (cooked) rice in a recipe with other ingredients. Could the quantity be the reason for random bits of uncooked rice? Thank you so much!

[@GurneyGal44]

Exactly , Chef JP, don’t let people with an attention span of a mosquito 🦟 get under your skin. You just keep on talking. Let them mosey on … I’ve been sharing your channel with a lot of folks and they hear my excitement when I’m sharing JP, new found National Treasure with therm. Best Advertisement is word of mouth. 😊 Just Keep On Being You !!!! We All Love And Adore You Chef 👩‍🍳 ❤

[@TheWaitfornever]

We love your recipes and videos, you're not only great at explaining the steps, but also very entertaining. Thanks for sharing!

[@SeekerKnight]

My Mom used to make Jambalaya the same way with one exception. The meats/proteins had to represent the four elements, meaning Air (bird/foul), Land (meat or sausage), Sea (shrimp, fish or oysters/scallops/mussels) and Fire (hot pepper/cayenne). You should be able to taste each of these equally as well as the holy trinity of Onion, Celery and Tomatoes. Spices were always the seven sisters of soups, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, basil, and hot pepper; hot sauce, red pepper or cayenne. You could substitute any of them as long as you had the balance of meat, seafood, foul and fire, but the trinity of roots/herbs had to stay the same, and so did the spices and rice base. The cooking always started on the stove top, and finished in a low and slow oven so you had time to go to church, and it would be ready when you stopped at the bakery on the way home for sweats/crusty bread and then got home to a meal ready to eat. Remember, you could not eat before church and communion back then. So everyone was hungry and ready to eat the minute you got home from church. Which is why this dish was so popular back then.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Wow!!!Such wonderful memories for you I am sure. Thank you for sharing them with us! 😍😍😍

[@esthernelson4894]

I don't know what the food police would call this but to me it is definitely jambalaya. My European ancestors came to the gulf coast with d'Iberville so they are great in numbers. We have as many versions of jambalaya as family members. Everyone puts their own twist to it. Your version looks delicious.

[@zerstorer335]

Yeah. It ticks the right boxes. Plus, one of the great things about jambalaya is it’s a “what do you have in the fridge” kind of dish that doesn’t demand tons of conformity.

[@berniecelee5062]

Lol …. I totally agree! He is entertaining while I learn a skill …he makes it fun. I haven’t made jambalaya in decades and I think it’s time to make it again. I am happy to see that his version offers the ingredients I can get my hands on easily. This is what makes his recipes achievable without giving up flavour. In Canada it’s not easy to source andouille sausages . Every butcher looks at me weird …. Can you spell that ???? And we can’t get creole seasoning like what is on USA store shelves. Thank you Chef for an enjoyable video and I know now , no more than 3 bay leafs ! And background flavour , not up in your face seasoning . Yep…. I tell my kids , cayenne pepper ….be careful , only 1/2 tsp max. In a large pot. I will be putting my pot in the oven …. Set it and leave it. I can’t watch it on the stove cause I seem to burn rice one pot dishes on stove 😮.

[@thomasmorelli9271]

You don't talk too much. You talk just right amount. People who say you talk too much don't carmelize their onyo's and leave the skin on the chicken. (Ask them how much they talk on their own successful cooking channel.) Thanks again for another classic video, it's what's for supper!

Huge fan here chef, and don't wanna sound like recipe police bc the recipe is solid (minus the tomatoes, but I cook cajun jamb not creole jamb) in this case you should brown your meats HEAVILY, remove, and then start sautéing your onyo, as dark as you feel comfortable getting them. Again, this is for brown jambalaya (aka cajun jambalaya aka the best jambalaya) and there's no way you're gonna get the requisite brown colored rice without heavily browning meats and onyo( unless you cheat and put in kitchen bouquet) anywho keep up the good work chef 👏 👏
