No. Double or triple that.

4 cups rice gives 12 cups of jambalaya. That should be about 6-8 big servings, and about 1/4 to 1/3 lb. (4-6 oz.) meat per serving, if my math is right. That would probably be fine, but you might want to add another lb of sausage if you want it extra meaty.

When I cook a 1lb bag of rice in a jambalaya I use 1.5 pound of pork 1 pound of sausage and 4 chicken thighs boneless. So about 3.5-4.5 pounds of meat I guess. 1lb is about 2.5 cups. I tend to have a good amount of meat.. But still 2.5 pound of meat for 4 cups of rice seems a bit thin.

I use a total of 18 lbs for a pot with 8 cups of rice. So, cut that in half would be roughly 9 lbs of meat in a pot with 4 cups of rice.

rule of thumb is for pork and sausage jamb, 2x the amount of rice
chicken is 3x the amount of rice
a lbs. of rice is about 2 cups.
