Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 in pieces.1/2 lb andouille sausage, or chorizo, diced1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes1 medium onion, chopped1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped1 stalk celery, chopped1 cup fat free or reduced sodium chicken broth2 tsp dried oregano2 tsp cajun or creole seasoning1 tsp hot sauce or more depending on your tastebuds2 bay leaves1/2 tsp dried thyme1 lb frozen, peeled and cooked shrimp, thawedcooked rice
Directions
In a slow cooker, combine chicken, sausage, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, celery and chicken broth. Stir in oregano, cajun seasoning, hot sauce, bay leaves and thyme.

Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. Stir in the thawed shrimp, over and cook until the shrimp is heated through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves and spoon mixture over cooked rice.

TIP: Sometimes I make this in the crockpot without the shrimp, store it for a day or two. You can even make this ahead of time, store in freezer and warm it through and add the shrimp at the end.

     Be careful on this one. The rice is not calculated in the calorie totals so it seems lower in calories than it is. - 7/6/08

     Tip: The Kroger store has frozen veges with all ingredients including with or without okra for only $1.19 in frozen vege isle(saves all that chopping and crying). Also, I added an additional can of whole kernal corn(low sodium) and let shrimp marinate in soy sauce before adding. FABULOUS!!!! - 11/25/09

     Amazing. My husband and my 2 yr old loved it. It tastes amazing. Only difference I made was I added a bit more andouille, used tony chacheres (sp?) cajun seasoning and omitted the hot sauce. Then we added it over rice...absolutely delicious, even when I had to double the recipe for houseguests. - 6/3/09

     This was awesome. I cooked some brown rice on side. When it was done, Iadd a cup of brown rice to my bowl and then I add jambalaya on top! Yummy and very filling! - 1/26/08

     Incredible! I made it for my family last night and I'm sure it will be a repeat. I used okra instead of celery and made brown rice. - 11/15/11

     This was so tasty. I used spicy Turkey Sausage instead and it came out great!! I think I'll be eating a lot of this one. - 9/16/08

     This was delicious! I added more hot sauce and added the cooked rice directly to pot when I added the shrimp and it was great. My husband loved it! I actually used chicken-habanero sausage in place of the andouille and it was delish! - 2/11/08

     Made this yesterday for the Super Bowl. Great flavor. My only negative, it was a little watery until you added the rice. Next time I will back off of the chix broth - 2/4/13

     Has anyone noticed that thre ingredients call for a 1/2 lb of sausage but if you open up the ingredients for the recipe calculator there are only 2 oz of sausage for 8 people? - 1/2/12

     I made this last evening in honor of Mardi Gras; my husband and I thoroughly loved it. Nice amount of flavor and spice for us and crockpot blends the flavors nicely. Thank you. - 3/9/11
