• A fine shrimp and chicken Jambalaya that I made in my slow-cooker. It took five hours. This was particularly good with the addition of some Sambal Extra-Pedas, which is kind of like thai ketchup, only made with chilis.

    1/2  pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
         1  large onion, chopped
    3/4  cup chopped green pepper
         1  celery rib, chopped
         2  jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chipped (use rubber gloves when cutting)
         1  tablespoon olive oil
         2  cans (14-1/2 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained
         1  teaspoon dried thyme
    1/2  teaspoon salt
    1/4  teaspoon pepper
    1/8  to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
         1  pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
         2  cups cooked long grain rice

    In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, saute the chicken, onion, green pepper, celery, jalapenos and garlic in oil until chicken is no longer pink.  Add the tomatoes, water, thyme, salt, pepper and cayenne; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add shrimp; simmer 6-8 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink.  Stir in rice.
