Directions

  1. Spray inside of 3 to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Layer, in order, the chicken, Cajun seasoning, oregano, okra, onion, celery, bell pepper, jalapeño and undrained tomatoes in slow cooker. Add broth.
  2. Cover; cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours.
  3. About 30 minutes before serving, add frozen shrimp and sausage to slow cooker; stir gently. Increase to HIGH; cover and cook until shrimp and sausages are hot.
  4. Serve jambalaya over rice in individual shallow bowls. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.

Cook's Tip

If a thicker, 'saucier' jambalaya is desired, stir in 1/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes just before adding the shrimp and sausage. To make 1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning, combine 3/4 tsp paprika, 3/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground red pepper, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp onion powder and a dash of dried mustard.
