Mardi Gras Day is Tuesday, February 24, 2009. For those of you who would like to bring a little bit of Mardi Gras into your home try this slow cooker jambalaya recipe. Serve over rice with a side of cornbread and enjoy. Beads not included.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound boneless chicken breast – cut into 1 inch cubes

1 pound andouille sausage, sliced

1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice

1 large onion, chopped

1 large green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

1 cup chicken broth

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons dried parsley

2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon 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.

*If the jambalaya broth is too thin try adding 6-12 ounces of tomato paste.

    I am so glad you posted this! I have been trying to find some awesome slow cooker recipes and this one fits the bill.
    Also, I had my first piece (ever) of King Cake last week…wow. I can’t stop thinking about it, and now that you’ve given me access to a recipe I might make it year round.
