Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite sized pieces)
  • 14 ounces smoked andouille sausage (cut into rounds)
  • 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles ((I used Rotel))
  • 12 ounces frozen onions and peppers
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 14.5 ounce can chicken broth
  • 12 ounce frozen cooked shrimp tail off
  • 1.5 cups jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken, sausage, diced tomatoes, onions and peppers, diced celery, cajun seasoning, oregano, thyme, and hot sauce to the slow cooker. Stir the ingredients, then pour the chicken broth over the top.
  2. Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 3 hours. After that time, add the shrimp and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions while the jambalaya is cooking.
  4. Once everything is done, spoon some rice into bowls and serve the jambalaya over the rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding some chopped green onions before serving.
You can substitute the chicken and sausage with your favorite proteins like shrimp or fish for variation.
If you like it hotter, increase the amount of hot sauce or add sliced jalapeños.
