I had to really doctor this up. It just tasted of tomato paste. I don't think I'll make it again.

Like many reviewers, I used this recipe as more of a "base" and added flavors to suit my own taste - canned chipotle peppers and chili oil for heat, no green peppers or tomato paste, cajun seasoning, fresh thyme, a few cloves of garlic and some Gumbo file. Turned out very good, just the right amount of kick. Will definately make this again.

Try instead of rice, use tortillas and serve as a fajita with grated Chedder cheese and sour cream.

Ehhhh....This came out pretty good, however, I did some tweaking! I used fire roasted diced tomatoes, added a cup of beef broth, a couple beef cubes, garlic, worcestershire, chipolte chili powder. I used chicken tenderloins and a whole pack of Healthy Choice kelbasa. It didn't have much of a flavor before this. Now, that I have more of a liquid based, I would add the rice to the whole pot.

Absolutely fantastic-and added to my favs list! My husband raved on this one. I would add more hot sauce. Also, I topped with a light sprinkle of Creole seasoning when serving.

I really liked this dish. I did make a couple of changes, but overall this was a great tasting dish. I doubled the sauce ingredients and used one can of Rotel as one of the cans of diced tomatoes. It turned out great. Also, I thought the dish looked good too. The reviewer who said that it looked unappetizing obviously does not know what Creole dishes should look like.

I gave 4 stars because it had a lot of potential. I left out the green pepper-didn't have it on hand. Added a chopped celery rib, 1 chopped onion, substitued a can of Ro-tel Mexican style tomatoes for the big can of tomatoes and paste. It was plenty juicy for us. Added a cup of chopped okra and 3 minced garlic cloves. Preheated my crockpot on high while I browned my chicken, then browned my sausage and veggies and poured over the chicken. It cut the cooking time by one hour by doing that. Also, used creole seasoning instead of salt. It tasted more like gumbo.

Used chicken wings instead of thighs (cut off the tips) because that is what I had. Used stewed whole tomatoes (1/2 can) & 3/4th of small fresh tomato also because that is just what I had (scaled for 4 servings approximately). Turned slow cooker on high for part of the time & low for the rest. Added a box of Zatarain’s jambalaya mix to the chicken. The chicken was so moist it fell right off the bone.

Sorry, this dish wasn't very good for me, my boyfriend wouldn't even touch it because it didn't look very appetizing. It tasted ok but lacked something so I added a ton of Adobo Sofrito and it still wasn't tasteful. Sorry, won't be making this again.

Mine turned out pretty watery. Next time I'll add maybe the uncooked rice to the pot and simmer it together from the beginning. Overall, though, a pretty good crock pot recipe, but not a slamdunk.

Fixed this dish for Fat Tuesday and it was delicious. Used boneless skinless chicken thighs, and lite smoked sausage instead of other sausage. Added celery, regular onions and lots of fresh garlic. Also, used the 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes and added the two cups of water. Cooked on low for 7 hours and added a tad of cayane pepper and 1 pound of cooked shrimp one hour before finish.Used leftover white rice form Chinese carryout. Awesome dish!

It was ok, didnt have any bite that we could taste even after adding more hot pepper as well as other spicey spices. Maybe we'll try it again adding something more.

I fixed this a week or so ago, and my family loved it. My husband being from Baton Rouge, so was so happy I finally found a recipe that reminded him of where he grew up. ***Leftovers were even better!

It tasted good when I initially cooked it, but when I reheated the leftovers it wasn't very good.

This was okay. A little too much tomato flavor for me, needed something else? Thanks for the recipe.

Pretty good. Thanks!

I thought it was good. But the chicken was dry. Next time I will try shrimp instead of chicken. I loved the sausage in it. It was also very easy to make.
