Based on reviews, I made some adjustments to this recipe. Replaced 10 cups of water with 6 cups of roasted garlic chicken broth. Omitted kosher salt. Unfortunately I didn't have salt free cajun seasoning, so I used what I had (Emeril's Essence). I,also added some salt free Mrs Dash southwest flavored spice. The dish did turn out a little salty, so be very careful. Even with the reduced liquid, I had to cook this much longer than called for to get it nice and thick. Once finsished, my family enjoyed this. It had a lot of flavor.
