CROCK POT CHICKEN JAMBALAYA



Crock Pot Chicken Jambalaya image

From Fitness Magazine. We thought this was quite good, and easier than making it completely from scratch on the stove. I subbed fresh tomatoes and jalapenos with no problems. I also stirred in some small cooked and peeled shrimp 15 minutes before serving. I used Zatarain's Jambalaya mix which has no separate seasoning packet, so both the rice and spices went in together.

SLOW-COOKED HEARTY JAMBALAYA



Slow-Cooked Hearty Jambalaya image

I love anything with Cajun spices, so I came up with this slow-cooker jambalaya that's just as good as that served in restaurants. If you can't find Andouille sausage, hot links, smoked sausage or chorizo will also work. I like to serve it with warm cornbread and garnished with sliced green onions. -Jennifer Fulk, Moreno Valley, California
