Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups uncooked rice
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a Crock Pot, combine the chicken, sausage, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
  • Serve hot and garnish with green onions.

Notes

Use even-sized pieces of chicken so it cooks evenly. Do not lift the lid while cooking to maintain heat. If rice seems dry, add 1/2 cup more chicken broth. Taste and adjust Cajun seasoning as desired. For richer flavor, brown sausage before adding to the Crock Pot. Thaw frozen jambalaya overnight in the fridge before reheating.
