STEPS

Combine chicken, diced tomatoes, sausage, chicken broth, mirepoix, bell pepper, garlic, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and oregano in a slow cooker; cover. Cook on High until chicken is tender, 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Stir in rice and shrimp to combine during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Turn off slow cooker. Let stand, covered, to allow rice to absorb most of the remaining liquid, at least 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
