Cajun Chicken Jambalaya

Cajun Chicken Jambalaya

 If you’re busy at work and don’t have much time to cook then this Cajun Chicken Jambalaya is such an easy one pot meal that you can make up for the week. Try sprinkling over some chopped spring onions to give this dish a bit of extra crunch and depth of flavour.

Whilst you could use a ready made Cajun spice, I’d highly recommend seeking out the separate ingredients and making your own spice mix. You could even create a big batch and save it for any other Cajun inspired recipes too!
