Chicken Jambalaya Packets

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Let me start by saying I don't have a lot of experience with authentic jambalaya. That being said I thought this was tasty and so did 6 members of my family. I doubled the recipe and prepared it in a 9x13 pan like MarthaStewartWanabe. In case anyone is wondering the same thing I was (do I really have to use converted rice?/what is converted rice?)... the internet says that it's good for recipes like jambalaya so the rice doesn't get clumpy and sticky and sad.
