Easy Jambalaya

First of all, it must be noted that...I lost the recipe for the jambalaya and had to make it from memory.  But that was ok - I had read the thing about 12 times and had bought all the ingredients from the list, and it turned out well! - although a bit strong.  Here goes:

1 whole fryer, cut up and skinned
5 pieces of smoked sausage, cut in circles
1 -1-lb. block of pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 cup white rice
2 boxes Zatarain's Jambalaya rice mix

Toss chicken, sausage and smoked sausage in a large pot with 8 cups of water. (I browned the pork sausage first).  Boil until chicken is done, remove from pot and debone.  Add remaining ingredients and, 2 more cups of water and the deboned chicken back to pot, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.

This makes a LOT.  Martha - can this stuff be frozen?  I've had so much jambalaya I feel the need to speak Cajun.

LOL!! You are too much! Did you start speaking Cajun? The recipe sounds yummy -- I'm putting it on my list to try! Yes, it can definitely be frozen!

This sounds great! Perfect for a cold day.   I think we just may have jambalaya one night this week.
