Crock-pot Jambalaya

Crock-pot Jambalaya

This is probably one of my all time favorite recipes! There are so many flavors that just blend together perfectly. I was also shocked, my husband was thrilled, to see that my Jambalaya recipe was almost identical to Ms. Kay’s. Hubby is a HUGE Duck Dynasty fan. This recipe is excellent for busy mama’s (or daddy’s) too since you just throw it in the crock pot.

What You’ll Need:

2 pounds Chicken

1 pound large shrimp

1 pound smoked sausage

1 large green pepper

1 large onion – chopped

3 stalks of celery -- chopped

3 cloves of garlic -- minced

28 oz can of tomatoes – diced or stewed 

1 6oz can of tomato paste

2 cups of chicken broth

1 tablespoon of Cajun or Jambalaya mix

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 ¾ cups rice

Directions:

Combine Chicken, Sausage, Onion, Green Pepper, Celery, Tomatoes, Tomato paste, Garlic, Chicken broth, Spice mix, Thyme, and Oregano into the crock-pot. Cook on low for 5 hours. Add rice and shrimp and raise the temperature to high and cook for 30 more minutes.  Stir and serve. 

Enjoy!!

Play around with this recipe and make it your own. I have made it before with only one or two of the meats, less tomatoes, extra tomatoes, chicken stock instead of broth, etc. It always turns out amazing!
