  • 1 pound of smoked sausage, sliced

Method

  1. Start by cooking the rice according to the package directions. Once cooked, set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, sauté the chicken until it’s cooked through. Once cooked, transfer it to the crockpot.

  4. Add the diced tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the crockpot.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, dried thyme, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the mixture into the crockpot and stir everything together.
  7. Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
  8. Once the jambalaya is cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and serve it alongside the jambalaya.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired.

Notes

This recipe can easily be adjusted to your liking. If you prefer a spicier jambalaya, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder version, omit the cayenne pepper altogether. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice if you prefer a healthier option.
