Cajun Chicken And Rice Casserole

This jambalaya version is a favourite in our house. It’s takes a good deal much less hands-on cooking time, because it's far baked inside the oven. The addition of andouille sausage and cajun seasoning supply it depth and a bit of spice.

But pleasant of all, including Borden® Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese makes the complete dish extra incredible than ever. Creamy Borden® Cheese transforms this classic cajun dish into a memorable summertime banquet, creating special moments on your own family!

The culmination of the chicken, spicy sausage, aromatic rice, and sharp cheddar offers the Cajun chicken and Rice Casserole a note of rustic decadence.

Jambalaya is right on its own, but with Borden® Cheese… fantastic! that is a new summertime birthday party dish we can make for future years.
