Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken - cut into 1" cubes
1 lb. andouille sausage or smoked sausage, sliced
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chicken broth
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 lb. frozen cooked shrimp
Directions:
1. In a slow cooker, mix all ingredients except the shrimp.
2. Cover and cook 7-8 hours on LOW, or 3-4 hours on High. Stir in the shrimp during the last 30 minutes of cook time.
3. Enjoy!
(serves 6-8)
Note: We enjoy spicier food, so I increased the Cajun seasoning and the cayenne pepper to 3 teaspoons each. Also, if you are using smoked sausage, consider adding it half-way through the cooking time. It becomes soft with too much cooking time. Since I prefer a thickened sauce, I use corn starch dissolved in warm water to make the "gravy."

ReplyDeleteMelinda,
DeleteI add the chicken uncooked into the crock pot. If you have precooked sausage (like smoked), it is better to add it near the end of cooking.

this recipie is exactly like a gumbo one i have.
ReplyDeleteIf you take out the tomatos and increase the chicken broth to 4 cups, this is the same as my super gumbo. either way,it's super..
ReplyDeleteTrying it tonight smells delicious about to add shrimp now and put on a skillet or cornbread
ReplyDeleteJust discovered this recipe. I have the pot going now. Can't wait til it's done. Thank you for sharing.:-)
ReplyDeleteI made this dish and it was delicious! I didn't have cayenne pepper so I substituted with Cumin. I also skipped the shrimp (not a big seafood eater). I made this months ago and my friends are still asking me to make it again!
