This recipe has been on my mind for a while now. I love Cajun food and with it being officially fall/autumn, I’m ramping up my whole30 and paleo slow cooker recipes. I going to start another round of whole30 when I get back from my big vacation this winter soon so I want as many one-pot recipes available for me when I do.

Yes, those are red potatoes. For paleo, swap those out for sweet potatoes or even butternut squash.

Stir as best as you can.

I know this might not look like enough sauce when it’s starts to cook but trust me it is. Ditch the store-bought Cajun spice and make your own! I bet you already have all the spices (or most of them anyway) in your pantry.

Packed with Creole and Cajun flavors, this easy gumbo recipe is sure to please. Not just easy this is healthy too being both whole30 and paleo compliant.

As with the majority of my slow cooker recipes, you can use your preferred cut of chicken. I used legs because that’s what I had but I also like to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in this one. I prefer dark meat in general when slow cooking because it’s better suited for the low & slow method and it’s less likely to dry out.

This is great served with a simple salad or a side of vegetable like green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc.

My guinea pig/taste tester (the husband) LOVED this but….said there was nothing Cajun about it. Hhhm. If you make this, let me know what you think in the comments about that. Not Cajun enough??

    This looks mouthwatering. I wonder how it would taste without the salt since we don’t use any or our diet.
