I think something might be the matter 'cause this girl (that's me!) who doesn't like rice, loves this dish. Like, L O V E loves it. It's the kinda love that sent me back into the kitchen for seconds when I could barely finish eating my first plate. It's the kind of love that makes me want to keep a pot of jambalaya leftovers in the fridge to snack on whenever I pass through the kitchen. And yes, it is even pretty good cold. Please don't ask me how I know that.

I've decided what I don't normally like about rice is that it is just so bland. I like my food spicy and full of flavor but rice usually just sits on my plate looking like a big pile of tasteless cardboard. Or, err, just cardboard since I imagine all cardboard to be tasteless.

Now, this rice … oh baby does it ever pack a punch. Every single bite is loaded with deliciousness. The rice is really just a vehicle to get all the flavor into your mouth. Some serious YUM.

Here's why this jambalaya is so over the top:

1. Chorizo. Spicy. Delicious. Gimme more. ♥
2. Rotisserie chicken. Salty. Rich. Most tender meat in existence. ♥
3. Bacon fat. Nuff said. ♥

I'm completely convinced that if this jambalaya can turn me from a die-hard rice disliker into someone who can't get enough then you will love it too.

• Add the remaining ingredients and bring the skillet to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, stir the pot one more time, and then cover it with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 20 minutes then check to see if the rice is cooked. If there is still liquid in the pan let it cook for another 5 minutes then remove the pot from the heat. Let the pot sit for 5 minutes, covered, before you serve it.
