How should I store leftovers?

Allow the jambalaya to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to four days. For best results, reheat only the portion you plan to eat to preserve the texture of the rice.

How do you reheat leftovers?

Reheat servings in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a small splash of chicken broth or water before reheating to loosen it up, as the rice will absorb liquid over time. Stir occasionally while warming to ensure even heating throughout.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients the night before and store them in the refrigerator, then start the slow cooker the next day. Alternatively, fully cook the dish and reheat it later but just wait to stir in the rice until you're ready to serve. This helps prevent the rice from becoming overly soft or mushy.
