Paleo Crockpot Chicken Jambalaya

I promised healthy crockpot recipes and paleo recipes to two separate friends. This one hits all the salient points and is today's contribution. I'm actually making it TOMORROW, so will add a picture then. For now, though, the recipe...which is all you really need anyway!

Ingredients

1 lb. chicken, chopped and browned (or leftover is fine!)
1/2 lb. shrimp (or leave out shrimp and use more chicken)
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
2 medium ribs celery, chipped
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes with the juice or approximately the same amount of fresh tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme or 3 tsp fresh chopped thyme
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
hot sauce (tabasco) to taste
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Mix all ingredients except shrimp and parsley in crock pot. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or until veggies are tender.

Stir in shrimp, cover and cook 20 minutes or until cooked through. Stir in parsley and serve.

NOW...that's the recipe. If you know me, you'll know I never actually measure, but rather chop haphazardly and throw in the pot. I usually will also stir in a couple generous handfuls of chopped kale or collard greens or spinach at the end.
