LOW CARB CROCK POT JAMBALAYA



Low Carb Crock Pot Jambalaya image

I found this recipe on a low carb recipe site and I served it last night (my husband has been begging me to make Jambalaya and I finally found a low-carb version). It was excellent, easy to make, and had a nice kick to it (I added extra hot sauce, which might explain why it had a nice kick to it :-). If you are not eating low-carb, then I am sure you can add some rice to it (or serve it on top of rice). Enjoy!

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.
