Slow Cooker Chicken Gumbo

Here is an easy dinner to throw together the night before. I put everything in a Crockpot and prepared the cauliflower rice the day before. When I woke up, I pulled the Crockpot shell out of the fridge, plugged it in. Then all I had to do when I got home from work was to stir fry the cauliflower for about 5 minutes and "tada" a healthy, yummy dinner!



1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (10-ounce) package frozen okra, thawed
2 links andouille sausage, diced
1 cup chopped onions
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups Contadina Thick and Zesty sauce
2 cups Cauliflower rice (I prepared the night before and had ready to stir fry when I got home)


In a slow-cooker, combine the chicken and all remaining ingredients except the cauliflower rice. Mix well to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Serve over cauliflower rice.
