Jambalaya is one of those comfort foods that really fills you up and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love the Cajun spices and flavors that make jambalaya so delicious. This recipe is so easy and quick, it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

I actually made this one night when I hadn’t planned anything for dinner, and just grabbed whatever was in the fridge to whip up. Hence, using the beef boullion cubes instead of broth. It turned out great and has been a hit on Instagram since I shared it in my stories and highlights.  My fiancé also LOVED IT, and requested that I make another pan (with double the recipe) the very next night.

This jambalaya comes together so quickly, that you can add it to the weeknight dinner rotation time and time again. And only one pan to wash? SIGN. ME. UP!
