IceLeopard, you beat me to it. I was going to say chicken Jambalaya. You can make it mild, or spicy, make a big pot of it for you and her and it is always a big hit. Also, frozen shrimp is usually expensive, but in my area it has been on sale and super cheap. If you can find it on sale, then add some shrimp to it too. Anduille sausage is also a typical ingredient, but the dish is still good without it.
