Jambalaya is a Cajun recipe, from Louisiana, southern USA. There are influences from many sides, mainly French, but also Indian, Spanish and African. Mardi Gras is a popular festival where these foods get served.
Put a few spinach leaves and some carrot strips on top of each slice of chicken fillet, season with salt and pepper to taste, and roll them up. Fry them 5 minutes on all sides. Pour the cream and the vermouth in the pan, put the lid on and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Put the chicken fillets on a hot plate, reduce the sauce a little and stir in the mustard. Pour the sauce around the chicken rolls.
