Crock Pot Jambalaya

I know everyone is busy and I've been so preoccupied myself that I've hardly had time to prepare actual dinners so I thought I'd share this quick and easy recipe tonight. Crock pots are such great time savers!

I found this Jambalaya recipe on Pinterest (seriously, what did we do before Pinterest?) and it actually turned out amazing! Get this...it's only 230 calories per serving!!!

1. In a crock pot combine...

• 2 cups of water
• 8 ounces of skinless chicken breast cut in 1" cubes
• 8 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2" slices
• 8 ounces of chopped bell pepper
• 8 ounces of chopped onion
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers, undrained
• Seasoning from jambalaya rice mix (you have to sift this from the rice unless you can find a mix that is separated) and save the rice for later

2. Turn the crock pot on low and leave for 5-6 hours

3. Stir in the rice and let cook for 45 more minutes before serving
