For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. If you prefer a spicier jambalaya, add a pinch more cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Feel free to substitute other types of pasta for the orzo, such as small shells or ditalini. If you don’t have cooked shrimp on hand, you can add raw shrimp in the last 30 minutes of cooking time on high. Just be sure the shrimp is cooked through before serving.
