This Popeye's jambalaya is a jumble of savory flavors. Chicken and andouille sausage with celery, onion, bell and pepper. Add in some rice and a whole lot of spices, then you're cooking!

  1. Shawna REVIEW:

    This wound up being a delicious rice dish more than the stewy sort of jambalaya I was expecting. I looked up the restaurant version online though and they looked pretty darn similar. Very good, and not over-the-top spicy, good for those who don't like too much heat.
