Recipe View 10 mins Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving. Remove bay leaves before serving.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock.
Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your preference.
Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, preventing the Jambalaya from becoming gummy.
If you don't have andouille sausage, substitute with another flavorful smoked sausage.
Make sure your pot is oven-safe to high temperatures before baking.
Fresh herbs like parsley or green onions make a nice garnish.

  • Dennis Pfannerstill

    This recipe is a game-changer! So easy to throw everything in the oven and forget about it. The flavors were incredible!

  • Armando Runolfsson

    I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat, and it was perfect!

  • Camylle Raynor

    I’ve made this Jambalaya for several parties, and it’s always a huge hit. The oven method makes it so much less stressful than standing over a stove.

  • Evert Glover

    Next time, I will use the homemade chicken stock. It was still delicious with store-bought, but I bet homemade would make it even better.

  • Modesto Senger

    The instructions were clear and easy to follow. My family devoured it!
