LOW CARB CROCK POT JAMBALAYA



Low Carb Crock Pot Jambalaya image

I found this recipe on a low carb recipe site and I served it last night (my husband has been begging me to make Jambalaya and I finally found a low-carb version). It was excellent, easy to make, and had a nice kick to it (I added extra hot sauce, which might explain why it had a nice kick to it :-). If you are not eating low-carb, then I am sure you can add some rice to it (or serve it on top of rice). Enjoy!

CROCK POT CHICKEN JAMBALAYA



Crock Pot Chicken Jambalaya image

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.

Time 7h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast halves

2 cups water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package jambalaya rice mix

  • Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips.
  • Place frozen vegetables in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker and top with chicken strips and turkey sausage.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Chop and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use a good quality Cajun seasoning: This is the key to getting great flavor in your jambalaya. Look for a blend that includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Cook the sausage and chicken thoroughly: This is important for food safety and to ensure that the meat is cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Add the vegetables at the end: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste: Once the jambalaya is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or Cajun seasoning.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Jambalaya is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its combination of spicy sausage, tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and fluffy rice, Crock-Pot Jambalaya is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
