Chicken jambalaya is spicy rice pot with chicken, peppers and tomatoes.
Jambalaya is a Creole rice dish of West African, French (especially Provençal cuisine), and Spanish influence, made of meat and vegetables mixed with rice.
Traditionally, the meat always includes sausage.
We chose the chicken, but we contrasted it with the spicy sausage.
If you are a fan of rice dishes this is ideal for your dinner.
Mild, spicy and hot at the same time … perfect…
Enjoy!
