Jambalaya Pot Pie recipe???!
Answers: anyone have a recipe for something like this? Maybe with a puff pastry? Or is it as easy as making Jambalaya and covering it with a crust? This question is based on a question I saw in Dining Out last night. I had no luck on google and yahoo looking up a recipe.
well a true jambalaya has whole pieces of chicken so that might be a problem but if you made it with boneless chicken theres no reason you couldnt add a crust over it...actually sounds pretty good;-)...dont tell my momma though...she dont like change;-)
I am a chef and I have never heard of a jambalaya pot pie. Cajuns my favorite,so i would have to say m,ake jam with a crust
