Crock Pot Jumbalaya

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients 
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pound smoked turkey sausage, cut into 2-inch slices 
1 large onion, chopped 
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped 
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes with juice 
3 cloves garlic, chopped 
2 cups chicken broth 
1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole spice mix 
1 teaspoon dried thyme 
1 teaspoon dried oregano 
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 
1 3/4 cups long-grain rice, I used brown

Directions
Combine all ingredients except for rice and shrimp in Crock Pot.
 Cover and cook for 5 hours on low.
 Add shrimp and rice and turn the heat to high. Cook an additional 30 minutes (for white rice) and 45-60 minutes for brown rice. The longer you let it cook on high, the more liquid will dissolve, so it's all based on preference. 
Enjoy!
This dish is so yummy, I added a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes at the end to give it a kick.
