Jambalaya at 235 calories per serving

Tweaking_Time

It's cold, cloudy, windy, exercise is done, fire is going...a perfect day to make Jambalaya.

My recipe is with no rice or it spikes calories.
I can make this in a hurry in a soup pot in about 90 minutes or all day in a slow cooker on low.
Here is the recipe.
Makes 12 servings at 235 calories/serving (without rice or quinoa)

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound andouille 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 chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pound frozen cooked shrimp without tails

Directions
1. In a slow cooker, mix the chicken, sausage, tomatoes with juice, onion, green bell pepper, celery, and broth. Season with oregano, parsley, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, and thyme.
2. Cover, and cook 7 to 8 hours on Low, or 3 to 4 hours on High. Stir in the shrimp during the last 30 minutes of cook time.

• Make rice separate if you want it.
• Serve over rice or as high protein, rice-free, chunky soup.
• If too thin, consider adding some quinoa to the broth (add in these calories!)

Great idea! Thank you, it sounds delicious. I might try in my pressure cooker and serve with cauliflower rice.

All ingredients in except the shrimp. Time to simmer...
