Cajun seasoning adds loads of flavor and spice to this easy-to-assemble meal. The slow cooker does the work so you don't have to!—Matthew Laman, Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

Delicious!! Hubby loved it!! I only used 1/2 the rice and chicken broth since only 2 of us and it still made a huge amout. Will definately make it again.

I followed the recipe almost exactly as written except that I used lower sodium chicken broth and beans, thinking that the large amount of creole seasoning would make up for the lack of salt. So, it might be partly my fault that it was lacking in flavor. I cooked it for about 7 and 1/2 hours and the rice was mushy and the chicken thighs were dry. If you make this, I would start checking for doneness at around 6 hours. Maybe regular rice would work since the converted rice cooked too fast. My husband looked at the recipe while I was preparing it and commented that it was missing two ingredients from the "holy trinity" of creole cooking -- celery and onion. Adding either one, or both, of these would improve the flavor. (By the way, the third element is green bell pepper.) Adding some sliced pre-cooked andouille or other garlic flavored sausage might be good too. But the overcooked rice is a MAJOR issue. Good luck with that. I'm going back to cooking my chicken and rice dishes on top of the stove.

Had this last night. The rice was overcooked for our taste -- next time I think I'll try brown rice. We also had to add a little extra seasoning as it didn't have quite enough "zing" as my husband says. The chicken was wonderful -- excellent flavor and very moist.

Very good but the rice was not as good as I would have hoped.

My rice was overcooked and it was way too much (1 cup of rice probably would've been better). The first hour I had the crockpot on high and I turned it down to low for the next 5-6 hours. Aside from the rice being overcooked, the rice & beans were still tasty, however, the chicken was flavorless and that is why I will not cook this again.

Also made it with breasts. Meat was very tender. Just right with the seasonings.

Loved it! It was a little spicy next time I think I'll use a little less creole spice. Either way I'd make it again. Very good.

I do this all the time, but have never tried it in the crock pot. That is a wonderful Idea for Sunday's after church. It would be ready when you got home. Thanks
