Super Jambalaya (in a slow cooker)

Jambalaya

Ingredients -

  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 lb chicken or lean sausage (I like a chipotle chicken sausage)
  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice (or use tomato puree…whatever you have or like)
  • 1 lg onion, chopped
  • 1 lg green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 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 without tails cut in halfs

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.
  3. Serve in a bowl over rice (I suggest a brown rice)

Superfoods used - lean meats, greens, red fruit,
