Crockpot Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya

I was hoping to mix up my meals a little bit and shock my taste buds from my traditional clean meals of salsa chicken and I did just that! This is an AWESOME recipe because it has all of your nutrients packed into one - protein, carbs and a small amount of healthy fat from the chicken.
