I was looking for a dish to take with us for deer camp and wanted a one pot dish.I may have out done myself!  I just found my new favorite comfort food recipe!  Who wouldn't like chicken, shrimp and sausage in one dish?  Jambalaya has always been one of my favorite dishes.  Now I have the perfect recipe.  And it is so easy!

Let me know what you think!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
