Use chicken thighs
I've made this several times and found that chicken thighs work much better than breasts that will be cooked to death after 7 hours in a slow cooker. Even tastier is to brown bone-in, skin-on thighs in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker. The skin and bones add a lot of flavor to this dish. Before serving remove the thighs, let them cool enough to handle then discard skin & bones, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and add back to the sauce when you toss in the shrimp.

not worth making!!!
I will definitely NOT be making this recipe again. The chicken was dry and the peppers were mush. The flavors were good, but the dish just isn't suited for slow cooking. My next jambalaya will be done on the stove.

Pretty good. A definite keeper.
This was a pretty good recipe. I altered it a little bit, with substituting the green peppers for jalapeno & poblano peppers, which made it obviously spicier. I will definitely add this recipe to my regulars. I do suggest using a boxed/seasoned jumbalaya/cajun rice instead of regular white rice, and then mixing the rice in with the chicken/meat mixture.

Good, but not my favorite
Tried this for the first time last week - I found that my chicken pieces were really dry, so be careful not to let it go too long. Had just a little heat to it, very warm and cozy. I just wasn't crazy about it, but there wasn't anything really wrong with it.

Great Taste
This was delicious. I halfed all the ingredients because it was just going to be 2 of us eating it. I did NOT add the rice, served it over it and it was perfect. Just a bit spicy but good. My husband took leftovers to wk the next day and said it was even BETTER but definitely spicer the next day. Will definitely fix again.

IF IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT
This was a great dish! I thought it was kind of watery, but once I mixed it with the rice it was great and I know tommorow it will be even thicker. My husband had three bowls. My son did think it was a little spicy so if you have small children you may want to lay off all the hot sauce. It is raining tonight and this was hot and perfect!

Quick and easy....
but thought that it was a little salty as others mentioned. This could be because I didn't have low-soium chicken broth. I didn't mind that it was "watery" when done, that was just flavor for the rice to soak up! And PLEASE don'e add rice to the slow cooker, just make it seperately and you will be much happier. The only change that I made was instead of andoullle I used Conecuh sausage, which may have added to the salitness of the recipe. Next time, I might sear the chicken with the creole seasoning (used Tony Cachere's), then add it to the slow cooker. Overall, a good, simple recipe. Can't wait to try the left overs....

Great!
I was very pleased with this recipe. I did add the tomato paste at the end to thicken it up like many reviews suggested. My boyfriend loved it too, it's definitely worth trying!

My slow cooker can cook more than just roast and potatoes!
This was definitely a nice change from the old stand by of roast and potatoes that is served out of my slow cooker more than I care to admit. I did make some changes though. To give it more heat/flavor (as many of the reviews stated that it needed), I added an extra stalk of celery, 1 pablano pepper, 2 jalapeno peppers, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper. As suggested, I added two heaping tsps of tomatoe paste at the last hour to thicken the sauce. I also used vegetable stock instead of chicken stalk because that is what I had in the pantry. The only thing that I had a problem with was the cooking time. I cooked it on high for 4 and a half hours. The chicken was done (and very moist and tender I might add), but the vegetables were still a little crunchy. No problem though. I just turned the setting to low and am letting it cook a while longer before we go to bed. Tomorrow the leftovers should be just right.

good and so easy
I will make this again. I was worried it wouldn't have much heat but it was fine for my wife and all I did was had some Louisianna hot sauce. I also added the tomato paste toward the end along with two cloves of garlic minced at the start.

Altered but great
Didn't want as hot or spicy so used a little less pepper and added the tomato paste towards the end , as others have suggested to make thicker, and it was great.

Truly southern
I am an avid eater of all things southern. This recipe hit the nail on the head! I had even run out of hot sauce (an unforgivable sin in the south) for this recipe but guess what? It didn't matter one bit! I did use Zatarains Creole seasoning as I found the taste to be excellent. I like putting my Jambalaya in a bowl so I mix the rice into the slow cooker at the same time as I add the shrimp. Mmmmmmm, dang good that bowl!

Great recipe
I really enjoyed this recipe. I don't fix many dishes like this, so the flavors were nice. I liked the fact that you could fix it in the crock pot!!

very good
This was a very tasty, easy dinner. I saw the other reviews of inconsistently thinking it was flavorful or bland so I was generous on the seasonings and added 2 diced jalapenos. The flavor was excellent! The chicken was a tiny bit dry as others had said, but I was the only person of 6 who noticed. I only cooked it for 6 hrs on low instead of 7 and I could have stopped it at 5. I would definitely cook this meal again.

pretty tasty
Having read prior reviews, I added almost an entire can of tomato paste to the mixture 30 minutes before it was done. That helped thicken it up quite a bit. I also used smoked ham from a local farm instead of the sausage. Since I'd read some reviews that said the chicken was dry, I cut them into large chunks. And I sauteed the veggies and chicken before I added them to the slow cooker to develop the flavors. Overall, it was a winner.

My husband liked it!
I made this for my husband and he said it was one of his favorites. i added more hot sauce. I also kept the chicken whole until it was finished then i took it out and shredded it. it was very tender. I added cooked rice to the last 20 min of cooking like some reviews recommended. Dont think i would do that again it ended up getting kinda mushy. other than that its was good.
