This is not a hard dish a to make but as is true of many cajun dishes, and if you use the Heaven on Seven Cookbook, there will be a lot of ingredients. Â This was no exception. Â I added to their creole recipe with their chicken and chorizo maque choux recipe. Â You know what that means? Â More ingredients but more complex taste.
