Jambalaya

Submitted by Pinaygourmet 345142

"This Creole dish is a great way of using up leftovers, such as cold roast chicken. Oregano, which is sprinkled over the Jambalaya just before serving, if you can't find the fresh herb, use a little dried instead. From Cosmopolitan."

I made this dish yesterday for my boyfriend and he LOVED it! I loved it because it was so easy to make! I doubled the recipe and added cayenne pepper to it! Thank you!
