Mike's Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya
Since it's Wednesday here in the O'Brien Shire, my youngest students are charged with cleaning out the crispers and dry pantries. With that, they can make anything their little imaginations can dream up.
For some reason, they're fascinated with learning all about Cajun dishes. Although they're somewhat confused about the difference between Gumbo & Jambalaya. So, here's the short answer.
Gumbo is a spicy layered Louisiana stew that's always made with a roux to thicken. While a spicy Jambalaya [essentially Gumbos closest Cajun cousin] is a one pot rice based dish that thickens on its own with that rice addition.
Anyway, enjoy your deliciously easy taste of the Bayou. Excellent work again kiddos!

Love making Jambalaya from scratch, but it is a little time consuming and sometimes when I have worked hard all day, I don't want to be standing on my feet for a long time making dinner. Zatarain's cuts the time in half and you can add to make it taste homemade.

Jambalaya Jambalaya
Jambalaya is a hearty New Orleans dish that’s very colorful and versatile. You can make it with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, crayfish, sausage, or any combination of the above!My version uses ham, sausage, and shrimp. You can make jambalaya as spicy as you wish. It can be served by itself, but also goes nicely with a side of cornbread.This recipe is modified from “The Essential Rice Cookbook.”#GlobalApron Week 22 - Ham#Cajun #Dinner #Seafood #Meat #Spicy
