Kick Start Your New Years: Quick, Cheap and Easy Recipe Day Twelve: Slow Cooker Jambalaya

Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Ingredients:

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed

1 pound andouille sausage, sliced

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (drained so not too runny)

1 large onion, chopped

1 large green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chicken broth

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

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.
3. ENJOY!

If you want to add rice, cook it separately and add it with about 15 minutes cook time.  Also, you may want to lessen the cayenne pepper or omit it entirely if you have sensitive eaters.  Or, if you like spicy, add more to it to give it a little more zing!  YUMMY!
