- Microwave 30 - 40 minutes, on high - 10 minutes at a time, stirring each 10 minutes.
- When all liquid is absorbed by the rice, the jambalaya is done. Cover, and let it sit 10 - 15 minutes to thicken.

Supreme Version
- Substitute 8 oz fresh ground turkey - for chicken sandwiches.
- Add 6 - 8 oz canned shellfish (clams, oysters, scallops).
- Substitute 1 medium fresh onion, diced - for dried onions.
- Added / substituted ingredients may overfill the typical microwave casserole dish. Cook in a dutch oven on stovetop, instead of in microwave - it is much easier to stir ingredients when cooking in a stovetop pot.
- Saute the meat - then the garlic, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes - in that order - before adding rice and spices.
