Steps:
- Make the roux by heating the flour and oil in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, whisking constantly so that it doesn't burn. The mixture should turn a light reddish-brown. If it starts to get dark too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Transfer the roux to the bottom of a slow cooker.
- Add the chicken, and then top with the sausage, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaf, Creole seasoning, paprika, thyme, oregano, and chicken broth.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Turn the slow cooker to the HIGH setting (if it's not already there), and stir in the shrimp. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15-20 more minutes (stirring twice), or until shrimp are pink.
- Discard the bay leaf. Remove the chicken from the pot. Chop or shred the meat, and then return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the green onions and parsley.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, cayenne, or hot sauce. Serve over rice and garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

SEAFOOD GUMBO (CROCK POT)
This is a classic Creole recipe. There are many different opinions about what it should contain, okra of file powder (made from dried sassafras leaves) being the only constants. This version, although simple, is unconventional since it is not thickened with a well cooked roux. It is absolutely delicious nonetheless. If you are concerned about cholesterol, because this is very rich, increase stock to 2 cups and reduce cream to 1 cup. Serves 6 to 8.

Steps:
- In slow cooker stoneware, combine onions, celery, garlic, thyme, dry mustard, bay leaf, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes and stock. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until vegetables are tender.
- Add okra, green pepper, chili pepper, crabmeat, shrimp and cream. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes, or until okra and peppers are tender. Spoon into individual bowls and serve piping hot. Serves 6 to 8.
- TIP: Large cans of tomatoes come in 28 oz. (796 mL) and 35 oz (980 mL). In this recipe use the 28 oz. (796 mL) size. If you are using the 35 oz. (980 mL) size, drain off 1 cup liquid before adding to recipe.
- Okra, a tropical vegetable, is a great thickener for broths and sauces, but becomes unpleasantly sticky when overcooked. Choose young okra pods, 2 to 4 inches long, that don't feel sticky to the touch, which means they're too ripe. Gently scrub the pods, cut off the top and tail and slice, if desired.
- Look for Serrano chilies in Asian grocery stores or well stocked supermarkets. They are long and thin, usually green, but sometimes red, and about the size of a baby finger. (The green variety has been described as a "skinny jalepeno.").
- MAKE AHEAD: This dish can be partially assembled the night before it is cooked. Combine ingredients in Step 1 and refrigerate overnight. The next day, continue with Step 1 as directed. For added convenience, prepare the okra, green pepper and chili peppers. Combine in a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight. Cook, devein and cut the shrimp and refrigerate, covered, in a separate bowl, until ready to use.
