Dream Dinners: New Orleans Jambalaya
In finishing up my March meals last week, I got to try a Dream Dinners version of a family favorite-jambalaya. We typically use the Zatarain’s mix and use a sausage for the meat. This version was originally designed to have sausage and shrimp, but I replaced the shrimp with diced chicken, as we don’t eat shrimp. This was a simple pan meal that could have cooked from frozen. I defrosted it so that it would cook a bit faster. I added the chicken into the pan dish and poured the sauce over the dish, covering it all with aluminum foil. I baked it about an hour and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This was a huge amount of food. I think this 3 serving meal translated into at least 5 meals for us. I liked this dish, but I wished that it had a little more kick to it. Mike ate leftovers with sriracha and it was perfect for him. I would definitely make this again and probably double the amount of seasoning I used or be prepared to add some heat at home.
