Slow Cooker Jambalaya

[cruelshoes]

I took this to a potluck at work today (it's just one friggin potluck after another in this place). It was quite tasty. I thought the spice level was just right, but you might want to hold back on the cayenne if you are serving it to kids.

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound GF smoked sausage, sliced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup GF chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons GF Cajun seasoning (I used this one http://louisianafishfry.com/reviews.php?action=rateit&id=36)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pound frozen cooked shrimp without tails, thawed
2 cups instant brown rice

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a slow cooker, mix everything but the rice and shrimp.
2. Cover, and cook 7 to 8 hours on Low, or 3 to 4 hours on High. Stir in the shrimp and rice during the last 30 minutes of cook time.
