Preparation
Chef’s notes
This recipe can be made into a freezer meal. To freeze, combine chicken, sausage, tomatoes, tomato paste, bell peppers, onion, garlic, Creole seasoning, and salt. Freeze together.
To cook from frozen in an Instant Pot, use high pressure for 15 mins + 10 mins natural release.
To cook from frozen in a slow cooker, thaw first, and then cook for 4 hours on high.
Serve with rice and top with cheese, hot sauce, and/or green onions.
