CROCK POT CHICKEN JAMBALAYA
From Fitness Magazine. We thought this was quite good, and easier than making it completely from scratch on the stove. I subbed fresh tomatoes and jalapenos with no problems. I also stirred in some small cooked and peeled shrimp 15 minutes before serving. I used Zatarain's Jambalaya mix which has no separate seasoning packet, so both the rice and spices went in together.
