Playoff Jambalaya

One of my favorite parts of watching football is cooking for the game and inviting friends over for free food and a chance to make fun of me and my obsession. My most valuable device for New England Patriots games is my crock pot. Below is my favorite recipe to make, it's easy and scrumptious. 

Cut up and throw the following into the Crock Pot:
1 1/2 Pounds of Chicken - cut into small inch cubes for best results. The chicken is the best part so sometimes I put a little extra in.
12 Ounces of sausage - I've experimented with lots of diffent kinds of sausage, different flavors add diferent kicks to the recipe. Chicken Sausage works too.
1/2 Cup of Onion - I usually put a whole onion, chopped of course.
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Lg Can (28 Ounces) of Crushed Tomatoes - don't need to be chopped, obvs.
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1/2 Cup of White Wine - I usually throw in whatever we have, but the original recipe said "dry" white wine so if your pallatt is that refined go for that.
2 Teaspoons dried leaf oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
1 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper - or more if you like it caliente.

Throw the crock pot on low for six hours (or high for 3 hours). Add the following:

1 Pound of Raw Shrimp - make sure to pull off the tails.

Cook it for another forty five minutes to an hour and you're good to go. Serve with rice. Cornbread with honey butter is a nice side too. Serves as many as 8, or if you're lucky eough to have leftovers it makes a great reheated lunch during the week.
