Chicken jambalaya in a multicooker
Description
It's not like anyone in our family is a fan of French cuisine, but we make this chicken julienne in a multicooker at home quite often. This dish is quite filling and high in calories, yet it has such a delicate flavor that it's hard to resist enjoying it. And the recipe for preparing chicken julienne in a multicooker is almost no different from the classic version; however, in my opinion, making this dish in a multicooker is much more convenient and easier.
