What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Low-country style chicken creole with the convenience of a slow cooker. Chicken thighs with classic Cajun veggies, hot sauce, and tomatoes all served over rice.

3 pounds skinless chicken thighs
1 cup diced celery
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 onion, diced
1 can (4 ounce size) sliced mushrooms
1 can (15 ounce size) diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
Louisiana hot sauce, to taste
4 servings cooked rice
Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the crock pot.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients except the rice. Mix well then add to the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through (use the low end of the cooking time for boneless chicken, the higher time for bone-in).
Serve the mixture over cooked rice.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Is chicken boneless and can you use skinless breast?
You can use bone-in or boneless. If you use chicken breasts then reduce the cook time a little.

I made this for a Mardi Gras party at work and it was a HIT!! No leftovers for the first time...and I work with all men!! I varied [slightly] the recommended amounts for quantity and taste and was able to serve over 10 people comfortably. I'll be making this again!!
