• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 ½ cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
• ½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 cup long grain rice (uncooked)
• Optional: 1-2 cups shrimp (peeled and deveined, add in the last 30 minutes of cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Chop all your vegetables (onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic) and slice the sausage and chicken into bite-sized pieces.

2. Combine everything: In your Crockpot, add the smoked sausage, chicken, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. Cook on low: Stir everything together and cover the Crockpot. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

4. Add rice: Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, stir in the uncooked rice. Cover and cook on low for another 30-45 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed. You may need to add a little more broth if it looks dry.

5. Optional shrimp: If you’re using shrimp, add them in the last 30 minutes of cooking and let them cook through.

6. Serve and enjoy: Once everything is cooked, give it a good stir, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your easy Crockpot Jambalaya!
