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!
