If you can’t find Andouille sausage, hot links, smoked sausage or chorizo will also work. I like to serve it with warm cornbread and garnished with sliced green onions.

Ingredients:

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 lb fully cooked andouille sausage, cubed

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 cup diced onion

1 small sweet red pepper, diced

1 small green pepper, diced

1 cup chicken broth

1 celery rib, with leaves chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons cajun seasoning

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon louisiana hot sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 lb cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

hot cooked rice

Directions:

1. In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 16 ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in shrimp. Cover and cook 15 minutes longer or until heated through. Discard bay leaves. Serve with rice.
