Slow Cooked Jambalaya
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with juice
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt & pepper to taste
juice from 1 lemon
In a slow cooker, mix the chicken, sausage, tomatoes with juice, onion, green bell pepper, and broth. Season with oregano, parsley, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover, and cook 7 to 8 hours on Low, or 3 to 4 hours on High. Stir in the shrimp and lemon juice during the last 30 minutes of cook time. Serve over white rice.
The first time I made jambalaya I think you could literally breathe fire after you ate it. The taste testers were begging for milk to cool the heat. This time there was a burn, but a good burn. If you are making this for kids I would suggest cutting the cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper in half. Also, if you want to put this in the crockpot in the morning I would suggest doing your prep the night before. There is a lot of chopping/cutting to do. So just in time for Mardi Gras this is a perfect dish, Enjoy!
