I made this yesterday


From the August 18, 2009 Swansons Creative Cooking Newsletter

Prep Time: 15 min.
Cook Time: 8 hr.

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups Swanson® Chicken Stock
1 tbsp. Creole seasoning
1 large green pepper, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 large stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup)
1 can (about 14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 lb. kielbasa, diced (about 3 cups)
3/4 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thigh, cut into cubes
1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
1/2 lb. fresh medium shrimp, shelled and deveined


DIRECTIONS:
Stir the stock, Creole seasoning, green pepper, onion, garlic, black pepper, celery, tomatoes, kielbasa, chicken and rice in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours* or until the chicken is cooked through.

Add the shrimp to the cooker. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.

*Or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.

Serves 6.


Thoughts Too much liquid. Next time, I would cut the stock back to 2 cups or drain the tomatoes. But I think the liquid from the tomatoes helps with the flavor so most likely the stock. This came out very MUSHY. I think that with less water the rice won't turn into gloop.

But it was tasty, and needs a hint of salt added.

Sounds interesting...I'd probably only add one type of meat/poultry in myself, but sounds good :)
