Kids loved it!

Never used this product before. It was easy to make, we used chicken breast for our protein. I was amazed, my kids loved it! Next day I went to the store and bought two more boxes and made it again for dinner!! It's cheap, quick and kids like it. It's a win!

Easy weeknight win!

As a busy mom of 3, one of my favorite things is coming home after a long day and spending less time making dinner and more time with my family. I tried the Zatarain's Reduced Sodium Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix as an easy weeknight dinner option for my me and my husband. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it still was despite the lower sodium content. We like making healthy swaps, so appreciated the reduced sodium, though we *did* add some salt to the dish to bring out the flavor and spice even more. Sometimes rice dishes frustrate me because the rice either cooks too fast or takes much longer than the box says. For this mix, though, I followed the directions on the box and the rice was perfectly cooked in the 25 minutes the box said it would take! Used smoked andouille chicken sausage that I browned first to get the flavor of some of those brown bits. Both of us agree this was a success and would eat again!

Quick & Easy weeknight supper

This rice dinner mix was perfect for my family of four. We had plenty for each of us to eat and get full. I added 2 whole chicken breasts for protein and my husband added shredded cheese on top of his. The directions on the box were easy to follow, and the whole meal only took one pot so clean up was easy as well! Would definitely recommend this product for busy parents during the week or someone who just wants some easy comfort meals to make.

I was surprised of the flavor!

I tried the reduced sodium version and was pleasantly surprised by how much flavor it still has. It's easy to make, the rice comes out with a nice texture, and it's a great quick dinner option for busy nights. I appreciate that it has less sodium without tasting bland like some reduced-salt products do. I added shrimp and sausage, and it turned out delicious. Would definitely buy again.

Quick and simple meal

Zatarain's jambalaya is a tasty and quick dinner solution. The instructions are very easy and simple to follow. All you need to do is pre cook a protein of your choice ( chicken, sausage or shrimp) and add it to the rice but before it's done and you have a complete meal. The jambalaya comes out light fluffy and moist.

Absolutely delicious

I recieved this product for free in exchange for my review through the Bzzagent sampling program. Zatarain's Reduced Sodium JamBalaya Rice Dinner Mix was a delicious addition to dinner time. We also cooked up some chicken to add into it, and I think it just took it to a whole other level. This is the first time I've tried anything from this brand, but I think I'll definitely be on the lookout to try more of their products. I definitely recommend it to others!

My Family's Favorite!

Zatarain's Reduced Sodium Jambalaya Rice Dinner Mix is just right for those nights when you want something healthy and hearty to feed your crew quickly, without a lot of fuss. I love that it's so easy to prepare and so versatile. I add additional vegetables and proteins on nights we have company over or are having a BBQ or cook out. Some shrimp, sausage and chicken added into the mix and everyone comes back for seconds, every time! I most definitely would recommend it to any size of household that loves good food!

Hearty meal that's quick and easy

I love one pot meals and was very excited to try this. It was easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes. I used chicken and sausage. It tasted really good for a low sodium variety. There was still a lot of flavor, but I'll probably try the regular version next time. Also going to add shrimp, bell peppers and follow some of the tips on the box! This is great for a quick and hearty flavorful meal.

Good taste; needs more veggies

I usually make jamabalaya from scratch, but I decided to give this boxed version a try when Bzz Agent offered to send me a sample. It's good, and much faster than the homemade version. Plus, my teenager liked it better than my usual recipe. I still like my own version with fresh veggies and less sodium, but this is a good, quick option. And I appreciate being able to get a reduced sodium product -- the taste was still fantastic!

I would try this product again with a few added ingredients

This product is great if you're looking for a low sodium meal with a spicy kick. I expected it to be a bit more savory because of the Zataran's brand. All in all it was a pretty good meal, just needed a little more flavor. I would suggest a little less spice and a little more seasoning. Seems to be missing the savoriness that would come from using a beef or vegetable stock.
