Even though I changed this recipe up a bit (no choice but to do so), I wanted to come and rave about it. I'm currently in Afghanistan and there is no supermarket. The only meat I can get is already cooked, and I have my husband send me some canned goods (I love to cook, so I ordered a crockpot-no stoves or ovens to use). The sausage and chicken I used is already cooked. I added a can of diced jalapenos because someone had an extra little can. I also didn't have chicken broth or uncooked instant rice, so I used a package of Lipton Chicken Flavored Rice. I also pretty much doubled or tripl

This is a great base to start with. I used boneless chicken breasts since thats what I had on hand. I used andouille sausage. I put sausage, peppers, onions all at the same time with the rest of ingredients. I also added some potatoes diced and seasoned with black pepper, creole seasoning, and garlic herb spice. Cooked for 8 hours then added rice and some file for the last 15 min. A little kick but nice and hearty. Will make it again

Will make this when the weather here has cooled down, too hot too eat in warm weather, looks great though, thank you:-)

Instead of rice I use either a large bag of frozen peas or 2 cans of white beans, which I add to the slow cooker with the chicken and sausage. A little less broth and I also add spinach. It has become a family favorite and definitely a comfort food!
