Cooked in a crock pot, this savory jambalaya combines chicken, smoked sausage, Creole seasoning, veggies, and rice, creating a flavorful and hearty dish.
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut in 1-inch cubes
4 ounces smoked sausage, cut in 1-inch slices
1 cup spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 can (16 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 can (15 ounce size) chicken broth
1 cup instant rice, uncooked
Combine the chicken, sausage, spaghetti sauce, seasoning, tomatoes, onion, celery and broth in the crock pot. Mix well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Add the rice and stir well. Cover the crock pot again and cook for 45 more minutes or until the rice is tender the the chicken is cooked through. Stir before serving. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This recipe was delicious. I browned my chicken cubes and chicken kielbasa first. Just because I could. Instead of using whole tomatoes, I used diced because that's what I had. Since I like my sauce chunky, next time I will use whole. It was easy to make and the flavor was great. Will definitely make again.
