Chicken Jambalaya Packets image

This is my spin on Reynolds Aluminum Foil Packet Cooking. For the utmost ease, cook the rice the night before and refrigerate. Reynolds Quick & Easy Packet Directions: 1. Center ingredients on a greased 12x18 inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. 2. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to form a packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make four packets. 3. Bake on a cookie sheet in preheated 450 degree oven. 4. After cooking, carefullly open end of foil packet first to allow steam to escape. Then open top of foil packet. Tip: For the easiest of clean-up, foil line baking sheet.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this jambalaya wasn't too spicy for me.

I love that this recipe uses chicken thighs. They're so much more flavorful than chicken breasts.

This jambalaya was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The flavors were amazing, and the dish had just the right amount of spice.
