Jambalaya, Chicken/Pepperoni image

My own recipe on a creole favorite. So, most eveyone says "Pepperoni!?" Of course pepperoni. It is absolutely perfect in Jambalaya. The taste of pepperoni is just a beautiful match for the taste of the cayene peppers and tobasco sauce. Oh, I just love this dish. You have got to try it!
