How to cook jambalaya in a crockpot

Gather ingredients

Pour 28oz can of diced tomatoes with the juice into the crockpot

Add 1 tsp crushed oregano

Add 1 tsp crushed basil

Add 2 tsp minced garlic

Mix tomatoes and spices together

Dice chicken breast

Sprinkle Creole Seasoning over chicken and rub in

Add seasoned chicken to the tomato and spice mixture. Mix together thoroughly.

Add 3 tbsp butter. Set crockpot to high, cover with lid and cook for 2 hours

While the chicken is cooking, dice peppers

Dice onions

Slice sausage. If you can't locate Andouille sausage, pick a spicy substitute.

After 2 hours, uncover and stir. The mixture will be quite juicy which is good. Add shrimp at this time if you are using them.

Add in peppers, onions and sausage.

Add 1/4 tsp ground red pepper if you want it extra spicy

Add 1/8 tsp ground white pepper if you want it extra spicy

Add 1 1/2 cups rice and 1/2 cup water. I used brown rice but white rice is what is normally used.

Add black pepper and salt to taste. Stir together thoroughly; cover with lid and cook another hour

Serve with salad and bread
