This crock pot chicken and rice creole gives you the tenderness of slow-cooked chicken thighs with the spicy goodness of sausage for a filling meal, complete with rice and ham.

A dash of hot sauce and plenty of bell pepper and tomatoes in a slowly simmered chicken dish has all the good things a classic Creole has to offer.

Taking the skin off the chicken thighs lowers your calorie count and saves you some money when you do it yourself.

Let the layers of flavors slowly simmer for several hours to get all the Creole spice to gently bubble together. Serve with some hearty country bread for a filling dinner.

This is even better re-heated the next day!

Chicken and rice is prominent in Creole cooking and this dish is a perfect example. But you don't have to cook all day. The Crock Pot takes care of everything! 

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Creole

Servings: 6

Calories: 280 kcal

Ingredients

• 8 chicken thighs skin removed
• 4 ounces cooked ham cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 large green bell pepper cut into 1-inch cubes, seeds removed
• 6 green onions cut in 1-inch pieces
• 1 can 16-ounces diced tomatoes
• 1 can 6-ounces tomato paste
• 1/2 pound link sausage sliced in 1-inch pieces, cut diagonally
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce

Instructions

1. Layer the skinless chicken thighs in the bottom of a crockpot. Add the ham, the green bell pepper and the green onions on top of the chicken.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the canned tomatoes, the tomato paste, salt and the Tabasco. Pour this mixture over the chicken thighs and vegetables.
3. Cover the slow cooker and turn on low, and cook the chicken for 4 to 5 hours.
4. A half hour before the chicken is finished cooking, combine the water and rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a very low heat, cover the pan and steam the rice for 20 minutes. Set the rice aside in the covered pot.
5. Turn the heat on the slow cooker to high and add the sausage. When it is heated through, in about 15 minutes, add the cooked rice and stir to thoroughly combine.
6. Serve in heated bowls with extra Tabasco for those who like a little extra heat!

On Your Own -Get creative with your sausage! Some cooks prefer a full flavored polish sausage, but you could get even more authentic with tasty chunks of Andouille sausage or maybe your favorite Cajun spiced sausage.

Look for links made with jalapeno for a bunch more heat. If you want to eliminate the chunks of ham, increase the amount of sausage to 12 ounces, but we find a nice slice of Black Forest ham to add a hint of smokiness that just gives all the other ingredients a hefty dose of flavor.

Food For Thought – Add some of your favorite vegetables.

Chunks of onions and carrots make this a Creole stew, and okra would make it more flavorful still. If okra isn’t your thing but you still would like a little bite, add some diced celery an hour before the chicken is done.

Good To Know – Most crockpot meals make excellent day-after meals, and this one is no exception.

Skim off any accumulated fat before gently reheating. Also, you can buy boneless skinless chicken thighs, but you should decrease your cooking time by 1 hour. Save yourself some money by removing the skin yourself.

It’s probably better to leave the bones in, as this chicken will be meltingly tender and falling off the bone anyway! And if you prefer white meat, this crock pot chicken and rice can be just as delicious with skinless chicken breasts.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in bite sized pieces
• 1 can 10.75 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 medium yellow onion chopped in medium sized dice
• 2 large carrots peeled and cut into medium sized dice
• 1 cup frozen peas

• 1 whole bay leaf
• 1 10 ounce package refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

1. Season the chicken with the kosher salt and black pepper, put it in the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Put the chopped onion, carrots and frozen peas on top of the chicken pieces.
3. Whisk together the cream of chicken soup and the chicken stock. Add the oregano and celery salt, then pour this mixture over the vegetables and chicken. Put the whole bay leaf on top and cover the crock pot with the lid. Cook on high for about 6 hours.

5. The dumplings should soak up most of the broth, but if not, cook another 30 minutes with the top off the crock pot.

The dried sage gives it that holiday flavor, but you can substitute dried thyme or basil to stamp this recipe as your own.

Boneless skinless chicken breast, crumbled cornbread and day old white bread are gently simmered with chicken broth and creamy chicken soup.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Servings: 6

Calories: 325 kcal

Ingredients

• 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 package cornbread mix baked, cooled and crumbled
• 8 slices day old white bread cubed, crusts removed
• 4 eggs lightly beaten
• 1 can 14.5 ounces chicken broth
• 1 can 10.75 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried sage crumbled
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Instructions

1. Plan ahead - cut the bread slices into cubes and let dry out for a day. Buy a package of cornbread mix and bake it in a 9 x 13 baking dish. When it's cool, crumble it in your hands and reserve. It also should be a little dried - it it's too fresh, the dressing will be mushy.
2. Simmer the chicken breasts in the chicken broth for about 20 minutes, until cooked through. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it in bite sized chunks. Reserve the chicken broth.
3. Whisk together the reserved chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup. Add the kosher salt, black pepper and dried sage to this mixture. Stir in the beaten eggs.
4. With your hands, gently mix the crumbled corn bread and dried bread cubes. Blend in the chopped onion and cooked chicken breasts. Mix the bread and chicken with the liquids and put in the crockpot. Dot the top with the butter or margarine.
5. Cover the pot and cook on low for 2 hours, then take off the cover and stir the dressing. Let it cook for about 1 more hour with the lid off, so that it dries out a little before serving.

Food For Thought – Try this with chunks of cooked Italian sausage, dried rosemary and white wine in place of the broth. Use sourdough bread to give it a little extra body.

This chicken stroganoff recipe consists of diced chicken breasts with spices and cream cheese, all cooked easily in a crock pot. A great variation of the more traditional beef stroganoff!

You might be thinking that diced chicken would dry out over a long period of time, as in a slow cooker, but this recipe proves that’s wrong.

The chicken comes out moist and highly seasoned, ready for the addition of not only cream cheese but cream of chicken soup.

Serve this over hot cooked noodles, white rice or mashed potatoes. You can change it out often, as you will probably be making this at least once a week (noodles are my favorite!).
