jambalaya

it's been a while since i've posted anything on here... but we just made this jambalaya with dallin and it was really very good! i was really pleased with it. yum yum!

it's from allrecipes.com, and since it's a slow cooker recipe, it's SUPER easy. there's a little bit of prep, but other than that, it's quick.

we added maybe a teaspoon of salt and pepper to it as well, and were really pleased with it. you could probably do even a little bit less cayenne pepper, since it was a bit spicy, but i liked it.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 pound andouille 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 chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pound frozen cooked shrimp without tails

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, and thyme.
  2. Cover, and cook 7 to 8 hours on Low, or 3 to 4 hours on High. Stir in the shrimp during the last 30 minutes of cook time.
