I can't add or take away from any of the comments that have already been made. This was a great recipe for my 3 qt. crock pot. I made a few substitutions and it still turned out fabulous. I used chorizo instead of andouille, 1 bell pepper instead of two, and added two more cloves of garlic. It turned out perfectly, and I actually didn't have too much liquid because letting it cook longer thickened the sauce. Definite keeper.

Ok, I can't believe I haven't rated this recipe yet... I've used it so many times. Two words, Easy and Delicious! SOMETIMES (If I have time) I will brown the chicken and sausage before putting it in the crock, also boneless skinless thighs work really well with this recipe too. I also substitute thyme rather than basil... I also have some 'secret cajun spices' that I will throw into the pot for good measure. Definately a keeper recipe.

This recipe is very easy to make. I followed the directions as indicated, however, I used less broth as other reviewers suggested, using 3/4 of a 14.5 oz can versus a 15.5 oz can. Even with this reduction, it was still a bit too liquidy. While my fiance and I liked the dish, it was a little on the bland side for our tastes, and we ended up adding quite a bit more Tabasco to the portions on our plate after I served it. This helped a lot; however, it would have tasted better had I added more Tabasco as I was cooking and gave it time to soak in. While the dish was good, I probably wont make it again and will search for a spicier recipe that suits our tastes a bit more.
