Slow Cooker Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya

Big Louisiana flavor, zero hovering required. This slow cooker Chicken Jambalaya is a one-pot, dump-and-go dinner that’s made for busy nights. Louisiana Fish Fry’s bold Jambalaya Seasoning Mix brings the spice, while rotisserie chicken and rice make it hearty and satisfying. Set it, forget it, and come back to a comforting Cajun favorite ready to serve.

Ingredients

1 Package Louisiana Fish Fry Jambalaya Seasoning Mix 1.76 oz
3 cups water or low sodium chicken stock
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
1/2 - 1 lb cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
1½ cups uncooked long-grain rice

Directions

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with oil. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned. Transfer sausage to the slow cooker.
Add water or stock, Jambalaya Seasoning Mix, uncooked rice, and shredded or chopped rotisserie chicken to the slow cooker. Stir well to evenly distribute rice and seasoning.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 1½–2 hours, stirring once or twice if possible to prevent sticking.
Once rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, turn off heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
Fluff with a fork, ensure chicken is heated to 165°F, and enjoy!
