Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 pound andouille sausage, sliced

  • 2 cups Swanson chicken broth

  • 1 (12 ounce) package mirepoix (diced celery, carrots, and onions)

  • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 cups converted long-grain white rice

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Optional)

Directions

  1. Combine chicken, diced tomatoes, sausage, chicken broth, mirepoix, bell pepper, garlic, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and oregano in a slow cooker; cover. Cook on High until chicken is tender, 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice and shrimp to combine during the last 30 minutes.

  2. Turn off slow cooker. Let stand, covered, to allow rice to absorb most of the remaining liquid, at least 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
