Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb smoked sausage (sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 large green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 large red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (8 oz) Zatarain's jambalaya rice mix

Instructions
 

  • Add sausage, chicken, bell peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, Creole seasoning, oregano, and chicken broth to the slow cooker. Mix until well combined.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Add Zatarain's jambalaya rice mix during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  • Mix before serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • Traditionally, andouille sausage is used in Jambalaya. I used regular smoked sausage to keep the heat down. I suggest using the andouille sausage if you like things a little spicier.
  • I recommend browning the sausage in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker for extra flavor. (This is not a necessary step.)
  • If you can not find Zatarain's jambalaya rice mix. You can replace this with 3 cups of cooked long-grain rice. Mix the rice in right before serving.
