Forgotten Jambalaya
Love anything Cajun (or in our case, Creole)!!! Here's my recipe for super easy crock-pot Jambalaya.
Forgotten Jambalaya
1 lbs boneless chicken breasts or boneless thighs
1 lbs smoked sausage, cut to ¼-inch rounds
1 10-oz can Rotel tomatoes with chiles, undrained
1 14-oz can chicken stock
1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 celery ribs, chopped
5 garlic cloves
3 tsp parsley flakes
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1 cup instant rice, uncooked *
1 lbs shrimp (optional)
green onion for garnish
Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot along with the sausage. Combine the tomatoes, broth, tomato paste and the seasonings in a small mixing bowl. Add diced vegetables to the crock pot then top with the tomato mixture. Set your cook time. I cooked mine for 8 hours using frozen boneless chicken breasts. You can use thawed chicken breasts/thighs and cook for 4-6 hours on “high.” Once the crock pot has finished, use forks and shred the chicken in the pot. Adjust the flavoring and add the hot sauce. Cook one cup of white rice separately. When the cooking time is done, fold the cooked rice into the crock pot. After the rice is added, with 30-minutes of cooking time remaining, this is the point you would add thawed shrimp to the crock pot.
