[@jeanavery4451]

Wow, I can NOT wait to make this! This is definitely a recipe I know my husband and I will both love, and it’s a one pot meal! Thank you for sharing this. ❤️♥️

[@Shyloh8]

I am crying inside because I just made this dish LAST NIGHT for the very first time and made the mistake of following a rookie recipe lol. Man it was a fail. I’m looking at this video and knew I should’ve come here first lol! I see now that this isn’t the first time you’ve posted this dish either. Gotta trust what I know will be 🔥 everytime! Definitely coming back to follow this one in a few weeks when I have the courage to attempt it again lol.

[@ChrisDavis333]

what did you do wrong?

[@TyrillCelestine]

lol gotta love the honesty

[@ghitchable]

I tried this tonight and it was outstanding. Better than any restaurant I’ve tried in my 64 years! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using spicy Hungarian Sausage I had on hand and added shrimp. I just can’t say enough about it. Just the right amount of heat and flavor off the charts. I’ll be feasting on this for days. Thank you!

[@reneenay7006]

I was born and raised in New Orleans and this is my favorite dish ever. You did an amazing job, Matt. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@opalivy739]

Jambalaya is looking so good and delicious. You did an excellent job with this jambalaya recipe Matt. Keep these great videos coming. Thanks for sharing this amazing jambalaya recipe with us!! ✌🏾✌🏾♥️

[@Tomatosayceidkanymore]

"Well I'm starved, who wants some jambalaya!?"

[@microwave_stone]

I'm here bc of Alastor xd

[@unproducktive_]

“soooo whos up for pancakes”

[@mzpeachny]

The recipe is the bomb. I put my rice in the rice cooker and skipped the broth and it was still great. Thank you !!!

[@akihikosakurai4013]

Trust me, the broth really makes it that much better

[@JerroldKrenek]

lol "you dont wanna be eating dirty rice" unless you are MAKING "Dirty Rice" LOL

[@Mherch]

what kind of knife is that? Cutting chicken sucks.

[@microwave_stone]

"Well I'm starved who wants some jambalaya?"

[@simplywandaful5889]

MMIH if that’s Moody behind the 🎥 he has the best job! He’s capturing the essence of everything you’re doing to the point I feel like I’m smelling this 😂. And he gets to taste 😛. I’m so jealous!

[@seanmyles3134]

This is certified approved👍from a Louisiana native. Great job!

[@jl7655]

It's begging for a nice juicy piece of garlic bread..not juicy...buttery

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Now I wanna see a juicy piece of garlic bread 😅

[@pokiedi]

No shopping list is attached

[@melissagahn]

You know I would leave the fat on. Daddy (r.i.p.) always told me, "A little fat never hurt nobody." Thanks again for another great meal. Please keep "making it happen". 🙂🙂

[@denniscostabile4264]

And flavor!

[@yearginclarke]

It's a sin to cut the fat off.

[@miseentrope]

@2:59...actually, we _do_ want to eat "dirty rice" and would appreciate your take on that classic 😋

[@plantlady1697]

This is almost exactly the way I do it . I add a little smoked sausage.

[@OneVeronique]

Hey Nephew, Hoping all is well. Can you do some desserts, fried apple pies, cheese cakes, banana pudding/bread, smoothies, cocktails, salads, etc. Have a wonderful weekend Nephew.🥂💫

[@psbarbie1]

Made this today!!!!! It came out sooooooo good! Thank you Matt!!!!

[@lemonygood6471]

Excellent!! I added a few slices of lemon and a few, fresh off the plant, sliced okra, along with the meat, at the end. Could not have been better!

[@summerwilliams4477]

Can we get some more one pot meals? Being able to come home from work at night and pop it in the microwave would be everything

[@erickmeister6916]

Made this a couple of times now. It’s super delicious!

[@christywylie6528]

I had to go out as soon as I saw this to get what I needed. OMG, it's not done but I keep sneaking bites. Absolutely AMAZING!

[@caryn3011]

Thank you so much for recipe and shopping list truly nuch appreciated 💞

[@millsmatt]

I just made this and it was delicious! Thank you so much.

[@reba601]

Just finished making this and the flavor in this dish is everything!!!!!! Best jambalaya I’ve had 🙌🏾

[@Aaronaa4]

Jambalaya is such a freaking amazing dish, you killed this recipe!! Never thought to add Worcestershire sauce or hit sauce. Those two made it so much better!!

[@graphicsbyms.educator6063]

OMG!!!! I'm from New Orleans and you got the seasoning on point. I needed a recipe and came straight to you. I haven't cooked this in a while. Thank you!!!

[@colinkennedy4646]

I tried the jambalaya off " The Kitchn" recipe from a Google search twice now, and both came out phenomenal. However, it didn't call for Worcestershire sauce or tomato paste, so I didn't bother, but what I did do was saute the veggies then set them aside just like the sausage and chicken and did the rice with a bit of bacon fat. My goal was to make it so the vegetables came out, Al dante. I'm going to have to give your recipe a try sometime. It looks delicious.

[@holtkym1]

Looks great! Did I miss the shopping list?

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

Your rice looks raw , that wouldn’t do 😢great , you are the first I see who knows the rice have to be really watched ( water runs Clare )

[@saptarshideb2082]

It's hard to find celery here, where I live. What else can we add instead of it?

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Maybe a small dice of broccoli stems, not so much the flower part. Maybe green bell pepper or jalapeño.

[@keithevans0407]

I LOVE this recipe! I'm wondering do you have a similar recipe for a crockpot or slow cooker?

[@moduqueRN]

Looks great! Making this today! Have all the ingredients already! 😊❤

[@Kego98]

I am here for the support. Make it Happen !!!🤤❤

[@fredlayne7718]

Hey Matt! Awesome recipe as this is something that I will most definitely be making. We need the ingredients list so we can go shopping and replicate this delicious meal my guy! From the Commonwealth of Massachusetts...Cheer's to YOU and thanks for the blessing.

[@anamariaharvey725]

[@edwardstevensjr9506]

That looks so yummy and delicious thanks for sharing this recipe with us

[@TonyaJones0788]

This looks delicious, making this soon, Love your deep skillet! 🍽️😋

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

I love this! Do you have any favorite Virginia purveyors of any of the ingredients?

[@greeneggslamb9336]

Thank you MMIH! I want to try this, I'm not seeing the shopping list.

[@frankkolton1780]

The premade, commercial seasoning turned me off. Lazy cooking with less control.

[@brendaburns9984]

I'm wondering how shrimps with the sausage and chicken would taste 🤔

[@sanbox1447]

I don't know

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Awesome

[@aprilsue7072]

Looks yummy but please use a plastic slotted spoon in your videos. That metal against metal scraping sound is just as bad as finger nails scraping down a chalkboard! Cringe…😊

[@eddiewilson8119]

Thank you for sharing this video and it looks delicious 😋!

[@jefflee3186]

Great video! How many quarts is your sauté pan? Definitely want to try this recipe out but mine’s only 3 qt.

[@nicolejthatsme]

As a native New Orleanian, this looks amazing!!🤤 this would be considered a creole jambalaya because of the tomato paste.

[@Hairarchives]

Well Creole people invented the dish. Cajun people adopted our recipes and added and or took away

[@nicolejthatsme]

@@Hairarchives had no clue! I just know it’s the kind my grandma always cooked but after Katrina, when I moved further into northern Louisiana, I noticed there’s is brown. Still delicious but different!

[@traceyevans2757]

@@Hairarchives Cajun and Creole are the same thing

[@Hairarchives]

@@traceyevans2757 Wow shows what you know. It’s actually rude to say that. I ain’t gone show my ass on here but you are dumb. This mf really just said creole and Cajun is the same thing smh, Calling a creole Geechee or Cajun is like asking for it

[@alisacollette]

@@traceyevans2757Sorry. No they are not. Otherwise there wouldn’t have different names. 😊. Cajuns are White people from South Louisiana. Creole are Black- mixed with African, French and some others. If u trace back. It gets deeper. Do some research before making a statement incorrectly.

[@rosewall2936]

ALASTOR APPROVES

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

I hope I’ll have some andouille sausage left after the chicken cooks 😂. I would be snacking.

[@Katrinabuttles827]

Oh man I’m so happy I have all the ingredients in my kitchen , this is gonna be our dinner tonight.

[@blackmacgyver9965]

This looks good, only thing it's missing is some cornbread muffins

[@jenjoy3215]

With honey and butter! Um Um good!

[@h2oski1200]

bruh imma make this happen toNITE fo SHO

[@mackdeep]

This is 🔥🔥🔥!My family loves this recipe. Not too difficult to make. And flavor goes crazy!

[@joannesincere6859]

[@Oracle428]

Worst-word-in-the-world Sauce ---Bahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[@deanm4138]

Definitely going to try this recipe

[@tashajackson2373]

Please start making grocery list 😂 and I absolutely adore you Chef keep being great sending you love and God's grace blessings to you and your family 🙏

[@lauriebennett6257]

I was just thinking, now the only thing missing is some shrimp and you said "you can add some shrimp in there..." Yum!😋

[@toneymc2674]

Diabetic reasons I need to use brown rice so how long would you suggest cooking the rice before the end game?.

[@JonathanDeleon-f7d]

What happened to your camera crew digging in, boss? lol

[@gleichg]

That looks Divine! Try it with BEEF Chorizo some time. Trust me.

[@vonettaadams7781]

Soooo, this weekend I made this for myself and my SO and it was wonderful. He went back for seconds. I used 2 jalapeños and your line of seasonings along with a couple others and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I'm a fan.

[@BenjiTheFrenchbulldog]

I'm here for it 😍😍😍😍

[@kimbattaglia4248]

Do you have a recipe for sausage and chicken gumbo

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

You could maybe add more stock and some canned tomatoes and gumbo file(fee-lay).

[@Krookavan]

Ok can't do that recipe, never heard of those spices 😢 not everyone lives in America.

[@MeryL0707]

That thumbnail looked so good, I had to click. Will be making this!

[@joejones5637]

Gotta have that in my life

[@AuntieKim1970]

Looks amazing! Pro tip. I take about 4-6 chicken livers and boil them until they’re super tender. I mash them up and add them to the rice mixture when I add my broth. Trust me! Even if you don’t like chicken livers, you will never know it’s in there. It just adds a little extra something. ❤😊

[@Mochi-sn3ud]

YES!!! Umami:)

[@valerielyons7401]

Mmm, This Looks So Delicious!!!😋😋😋❤️❤️❤️

[@bksson2818]

This was not a great video a lot of muting🤔

[@bonniewulff8627]

I love cooking along with you. Can you post the shopping list.

[@chrischrist7982]

Awesome video 💯🔥

[@joannajudson1107]

My recipe is similar but I also add shrimp

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

That’s because you rock joanna. That is my favorite way.

[@kathyrama4570]

Oh how I love this dish.

[@xynesq150]

I know he aiint jus say “ pork patrol” wit that dirty ass chicken

[@83devildog]

Looks delicious, more tomato for me tho. But man that looks good.

[@Sfrenato_PM7]

bruh wtf y did u just put a silent cut in ur video it f dry viewers went sleeping right after

[@braydenprice3946]

Can I double this recipe and use it for meal prep?

[@HowzYoutube]

The fucking rice looks uncooked my boi 😂

[@TREWHIT1]

One pot meals? Hell yeah. Looking good Matt.

[@macyklesiewylie1816]

You are very talented and a good chef

[@chrissmithspresence]

We had a bunch of friends and family over last night to hand out candy. I made a batch of this to keep us warm and it was a big hit. Thanks for the video.

[@toddcunningham3213]

Lol! Us too! Had a pan of jambalaya that I made the night before, warmed up in the crockpot, plus about 2 gallons of gumbo. Was perfect because I don't think that it got above 30⁰ last night. Didn't even have enough leftovers to feed the dog.

[@TheNika2009]

I've been waiting for this😋😋

[@shelleywenzel3544]

I made this without the chicken bouillon & “worst word in the world sauce” (LOL). We have gluten sensitive folks eating it and it still was EXCELLENT!! I’ve been cooking Jambalaya for years. I’m Cajun (an Hebert) & my husband is a Plauche’ from NOLA. We give it 5 🌟👏🏻🙏

[@wendyzanders7284]

Im here because all your delicious cooking.

[@RexZShadow]

I didn't seem to get the water and rice ration right, i did 4 cup of stock and 2 cup of rice but the rice was like half cooked. I had to add more water but end up making rice really mushy.

[@chokolatekittee]

Your fire may have been too high.

[@vickierumbers4324]

Came for the card, stayed for the “Boop” 😊

[@arceneaux777]

I have to make this now - thank you - and the chicken sear is dope!

[@yvetteminor8142]

Love the bloopers. Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnLaudun]

FYI ... the "Cajun trinity" varies depending on where you are. In New Orleans, and in other parts of Louisiana where Italian immigrants settled, like the Bayou Teche and Bayou Lafourche, the trinity is onions, celery, and bell pepper.

[@delenawilliamson1439]

Looks delicious 😋

[@denniskarriker]

Nice recipe gonna do it real soon thanks

[@noneyourbiz8886]

I made this recipe yesterday for my family. I’ve never made jambalaya before and I was nervous I’d mess it up. My family absolutely LOVED it! It was so easy and delicious. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@tonymanna9160]

I need to make this.
