Ingredients:
| 1 | lbs boneless chicken breast or boneless thighs |
| 1 | lbs smoked turkey sausage, cut to 1/4-inch rounds |
| 1 10 oz can | rotelle with chiles, undrained |
| 1 (14-ounce) can | chicken stock |
| 1 (6-ounce) can | tomato paste |
| 1 | onion, diced |
| 1 | green bell pepper, diced |
| 3 | celery ribs, chopped |
| 5 | garlic cloves |
| 3 teaspoons | parsley flakes |
| 2 teaspoons | dried basil |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | dried oregano |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| 1/2 teaspoon | hot sauce |
| 1 1/2 cups | instant brown rice, uncooked * |
| 1 | lbs shrimp (optional) |
| green onion for garnish | |
Directions:
Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot along with the sausage and diced vegetables.
Combine the tomatoes, broth, tomato paste and the seasonings in a small mixing bowl then add to the crock pot.
Set your cook timer. I cooked mine for 8 hours using frozen boneless chicken breasts. You can use thawed chicken breasts or boneless thighs and cook for 4-6 hours on HIGH.
Once the crock pot has finished, use forks and shred the chicken in the pot and adjust the flavoring and add the hot sauce, if desired.
There are 2 different steps when dealing with the rice for this recipe: 1. Cook one cup of white rice separately. When the cooking time is done, fold the cooked rice into the crock pot. 2. You can use instant rice with 30-minutes remaining. Make sure the rice is well mixed into the ingredients. Recover the pot.
Also, after the rice is added, with 30-minutes of cooking time remaining, this is the point you would add thawed shrimp to the crock pot.
Serve the Forgotten Once Jambalaya garnished with chopped green onions and warm, buttered french bread! Enjoy the greatest jambalaya!
