Crock-Pot® Quinoa Jambalaya!

9/14/16

Crock Pot Quinoa Jambalaya Easy delicious Crock-Pot®  jambalaya made with quinoa, chicken, andouille sausage, shrimp, and more!

This post is a Sponsored Partnership with Crock-Pot ® Brand

Everyone knows that I adore Crock-Pot ® slow cookers. I’m always using them, especially during the busy school week. I love the fact that I am able to just toss everything into a pot, set the temperature on high or low, and time, then go on about about my day. One of my favorite things to make in the Crock-Pot ® slow cooker during the week is Jambalaya. Recently, I’ve been on a quinoa kick, so I like to make Quinoa Jambalaya instead of making the same old traditional Rice Jambalaya.Fresh peppers, onion and celery

Delicious chicken and sausage

For my Quinoa Jambalaya I use colorful bell peppers, yellow onions, and celery. I find that they add a ton of flavor. I also like using cooked chicken breast, and andouille sausage. The chicken breast can be leftover chicken, frozen grilled chicken, or rotisserie chicken breast.

Mix all the ingredients together and add them to the Crock Pot

I add all the ingredients mentioned above into my Crock-Pot ® slow cooker. I also add in quinoa, canned diced tomatoes, garlic, cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, chicken broth, and bay leaves.

I give everything a nice stir,  place the lid on my Crock-Pot ® slow cooker, then set on high for 4 hours.

The outcome of is always amazing.. Check it out!

    Will there ever be a ‘save recipe” button? That would be so useful for users,because i lose recipes easily here.
