Preparation
Step 1
Slowly melt the butter with 1 tablespoon liquid smoke in a saucepan over medium heat, then gradually whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking continuously, until the color is a light chocolate brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Toss the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic in a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker, then arrange the chicken on top. Add the chicken broth, then carefully spoon in the roux (the butter-flour mixture) to avoid splashing. Sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning, file powder and the remaining 1 tablespoon liquid smoke. Cover and cook on low, 6 hours.
About 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Shred the meat, discarding the bones, then return the meat to the slow cooker. Add the shrimp, cover and cook until they turn pink, about 8 minutes. Serve over rice; top with scallions.
