2. Thinly cover bottom of crockpot with some of the salsa and veggie mix (peppers onion and cilantro).
3. Cover each side of each chicken breast with all seasonings to taste and lay down into pot, with some olive oil, worchestire sauce and veggie mix between each layer of chicken (usually fits into standard pot in two to three layers).
4. Add additional seasoning and worchestire sauce to taste to pot and cover chicken with remaining veggie mix and salsa. Make sure the salsa completely covers/submerges the chicken and veggies.

Jambalaya with Chicken and Sausage

Ingredients

• 
  Olive oil, vegetable oil, or bacon drippings
  
• Cajun seasoning
• Three pounds of chicken
• Two pounds of sausage
• Two cups of onion
• Two cups of celery
• One cup of green bell pepper
• Two tablespoons of chopped garlic
• One cup of sliced baby bella mushrooms
• Four cups of water
• Four cups of uncooked, parboiled rice
• Salt
• Pepper
• Soy sauce
• Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)

Directions

1. Finely chop onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. If using a food processor, keep leftover liquid for later.
2. Cube chicken into one-inch cubes and slice sausage.
3. Heat a large pot (for which you have a lid) as high as possible.
4. Add enough oil to pot to prevent sticking, then add chicken.
5. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and let cook with minimal stirring until browned (10-15 minutes). Chicken sticking to the sides of the pot is desired.
   

6. 

   The mixture of onions, celery,
   and bell peppers is colloquially
    referred to as "the Trinity."
   

   Add sausage and sprinkle with more Cajun seasoning once chicken is browned, stirring occasionally until sausage browns (10 minutes).
7. Add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic along with more seasoning. Cook until vegetables are translucent.
8. Add mushrooms when vegetables are almost translucent. Cook until they shrink, lowering heat as necessary.
9. Add water as well as any leftover liquid from food processor. Scrape anything stuck to the bottom and sides of the pot, as this is all flavor.
10. Let simmer for five minutes, then add rice and stir until evenly mixed.

11. 

    Jambalaya before simmering.

    Add enough water to cover jambalaya by one knuckle (half inch). Taste liquid and add extra Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and hot sauce as necessary. Be sure to over-season where the liquid tastes salty, as the rice will absorb all of the flavor.
    
12. Cover pot and place on a low simmer for 20-30 minutes. Leave covered so the rice may absorb the liquid.
13. Check rice to see if it is properly cooked with little liquid remaining. If rice is still hard, add water and simmer for an additional five minutes. If too much liquid remains, simmer uncovered for five minutes or until liquid is gone.
14. Add hot sauce to taste and enjoy.
