Made this a few weeks ago.
CROCK POT JAMBALAYA
In all honesty, this was possibly the best batch of jambalaya I've ever made. It's a creole style (aka, tomato base), but the crockpot just got the rice SOO perfect & full of flavor.
Ingredients
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound turkey sausage, sliced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tbsp hot sauce
3 c. rice, uncooked (we used minute rice)
Directions
1. In a slow cooker, mix the chicken, sausage, tomatoes with juice, onion, green bell pepper, celery, and broth. Season with oregano, parsley, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and thyme.
2. Cover, and cook 7 to 8 hours on Low, or 3 to 4 hours on High. Stir in the rice during the last hour of cook time (or the last 30-45 minutes of cook time if you're using quick rice).
Makes about 12 servings.
