Although I don't have an affinity for rice, there are a handful of dishes I can't do without. Jambalaya is one of them.

Here it's made with a slightly stew-y base, one stippled with chicken, andouille and shrimp. Then red peppers serve as a vessel to stuff and bake.

Drizzle the dish with a bit of olive oil before its final finish in the oven—this creates a pleasantly browned crust. When sprinkled with parsley and finished with a burst of lemon, this updated classic has definite crowd appeal.

Serve it with crusty bread and a simply dressed salad for a complete meal.

Note: You want the rice to be a bit juicy when stuffing the peppers so it won't dry out in the oven.
