Chicken Gumbo

I'll be honest. I always get gumbo confused with another dish... But I think I got it right this time haha... Except I skipped the shrimp.

I made this a couple nights ago and have been having it for lunch, and it is sooo tasty and satisfying, especially with these dark cold fall days. 

*****update, I took this to a potluck and the crockpot was scraped clean! I think the people agree: it's really good!*****

Chicken Gumbo

Ingredients
3 boneless skinless chicken breast, thawed and cubed
1 box Pacific vegetable broth (+ 1 box water)
1 cup brown rice
2 beef hotdogs (i used kirkland brand)
3 cups Organic New Harvest Medley frozen vegetables (green beans, carrots, red bell peppers)
2 tbsp creole seasoning
1 tbsp curry
2 tbsp (each) onion and garlic powder
1 tbsp dried parsley
1/2 tbsp black pepper

Directions
Cook rice according to package directions. I cooked it in a rice cooker because it cooks faster that way. Add the stock + water, chicken, and spices to a boil. Once boiling, add the vegetables (they do not need to be thawed), hot dogs, and finally the rice. Cook on medium low for about 20 minutes. Serve with crackers. Add salt to taste.

This made about Eight 2 CUP servings (large servings!) and according to my calculations, is apprx 180 cal per serving.
