Description
A comforting Creole-style dinner made effortlessly in a slow cooker using chicken, sausage, and rice with bold flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the diced chicken, sliced sausage, diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the Crock Pot. Spread ingredients evenly.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and chicken broth. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the top. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the uncooked rice over the mixture and give a gentle stir so the rice is distributed through the liquid.
- Cover and cook on low for 360-480 minutes or on high for 180-240 minutes, until the rice is tender and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Before serving, stir to loosen the rice and distribute flavors. Taste and adjust salt or Cajun seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
For firmer rice, reduce cooking time slightly and test early. Brown sausage and chicken for added flavor if preferred.
