Chicken Creole Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n- Boneless skinless chicken breasts<\/strong>: It\u2019s important to cut the chicken into uniform pieces. Otherwise, they\u2019ll cook unevenly, and some of the chicken can turn out dry.<\/li>\n
- Onion, celery and green pepper<\/strong>: This combination is known as the \u201choly trinity.\u201d These aromatic<\/a> ingredients add depth to the tomato sauce.<\/li>\n
- Diced tomatoes<\/strong>: You can\u2019t have a rich tomato sauce without tomatoes! Diced tomatoes are treated with calcium chloride, so the chopped tomatoes become extra firm. That means they won\u2019t fall apart while the sauce simmers.<\/li>\n
- Paprika<\/strong>: While it isn\u2019t as spicy as cayenne, paprika<\/a> adds a spicy-without-the-heat flavor. It\u2019s earthy, slightly sweet and somewhat smoky. This dish wouldn\u2019t be the same without it.<\/li>\n
- Cornstarch<\/strong>: This gluten-free starch thickens the tomato sauce, giving it a rich consistency.<\/li>\n
- Hot cooked rice<\/strong>: Use your favorite method for cooking rice<\/a>: the stovetop, a rice cooker or the microwave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Brown the chicken<\/h3>\n
Sprinkle the chicken with 1\/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken in oil. Remove, and set aside.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Cook the sauce<\/h3>\n
In the same skillet, saute the onion, celery, green pepper and garlic until tender. Stir in the tomatoes (and their juices), water, paprika, remaining 1\/4 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Want to give the sauce a flavor boost? Use chicken broth<\/a> instead of water.<\/p>\nStep 3: Simmer the chicken Creole<\/h3>\n
Return the chicken to the skillet. In a small glass, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the chicken mixture, and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. If desired, serve with rice.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: To give the recipe a pop of color, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions.<\/p>\nRecipe Variations<\/h2>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Include Creole seasoning<\/strong>: This dish does well with robust spices, so scale up on the spice with Creole seasoning<\/a> to taste.<\/li>\n
- Add a little spice<\/strong>: Give Creole chicken a little zip! Increase the cayenne, add diced jalapenos, or substitute the diced tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes with green chiles. You can also finish the dish with a vinegary hot sauce<\/a> like Louisiana-style hot sauce.<\/li>\n
- Use chicken thighs<\/strong>: Boneless skinless chicken thighs work just as well for this recipe. They have a higher fat content, so they stay juicy and moist.<\/li>\n
- Skip the chicken<\/strong>: Use tofu or peeled and deveined shrimp to make the dish vegan or pescatarian.<\/li>\n
- Thicken the sauce<\/strong>: Use tomato paste<\/a> instead of canned tomatoes to make a thicker sauce. If substituting, increase the water or broth as needed to compensate for the liquid in the canned tomatoes.<\/li>\n
- Use precooked chicken<\/strong>: For an easy chicken Creole, use leftover or rotisserie chicken<\/a> instead of the chicken breasts. Mix in the cooked chicken when you add the cornstarch slurry, and simmer until the chicken is warmed through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Chicken Creole<\/h2>\n
Store leftover chicken Creole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat it in the microwave, or warm it over gentle heat in a skillet on the stovetop.<\/p>\n
Can you freeze chicken Creole?<\/h2>\n
We don\u2019t recommend freezing this chicken Creole recipe because it\u2019s thickened with cornstarch. Sauces that contain cornstarch become spongy when thawed.<\/p>\n
If you plan to freeze this dish, substitute another thickener<\/a> such as arrowroot or flour. You can then freeze chicken Creole in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.<\/p>\nChicken Creole Tips<\/h2>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nWhat is sauce Creole made from?<\/h3>\n
Sauce Creole (sometimes called \u201cred gravy\u201d) is a spiced tomato sauce made with the Cajun holy trinity<\/a>\u2014onions, celery and green bell peppers. It can be used as a dipping sauce, spooned over grits or pasta, or simmered with chicken or shrimp to make dishes like this chicken Creole recipe.<\/p>\nWhat can you serve with chicken Creole?<\/h3>\n
Chicken Creole is traditionally served over hot cooked rice, but it would also taste fantastic over cheesy grits<\/a>.\u00a0Pair it with a crunchy salad or other southern dishes like collard greens<\/a> and buttery cornbread<\/a>. And don\u2019t forget the beignets<\/a> for dessert!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicken Creole is deeply flavorful and comforting, showcasing tomatoes, onion, celery, green bell

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Brown the chicken<\/h3>\n
Sprinkle the chicken with 1\/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken in oil. Remove, and set aside.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Cook the sauce<\/h3>\n
In the same skillet, saute the onion, celery, green pepper and garlic until tender. Stir in the tomatoes (and their juices), water, paprika, remaining 1\/4 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Want to give the sauce a flavor boost? Use chicken broth<\/a> instead of water.<\/p>\n Return the chicken to the skillet. In a small glass, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the chicken mixture, and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. If desired, serve with rice.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: To give the recipe a pop of color, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions.<\/p>\n Store leftover chicken Creole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat it in the microwave, or warm it over gentle heat in a skillet on the stovetop.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t recommend freezing this chicken Creole recipe because it\u2019s thickened with cornstarch. Sauces that contain cornstarch become spongy when thawed.<\/p>\n If you plan to freeze this dish, substitute another thickener<\/a> such as arrowroot or flour. You can then freeze chicken Creole in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.<\/p>\n Sauce Creole (sometimes called \u201cred gravy\u201d) is a spiced tomato sauce made with the Cajun holy trinity<\/a>\u2014onions, celery and green bell peppers. It can be used as a dipping sauce, spooned over grits or pasta, or simmered with chicken or shrimp to make dishes like this chicken Creole recipe.<\/p>\n Chicken Creole is traditionally served over hot cooked rice, but it would also taste fantastic over cheesy grits<\/a>.\u00a0Pair it with a crunchy salad or other southern dishes like collard greens<\/a> and buttery cornbread<\/a>. And don\u2019t forget the beignets<\/a> for dessert!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chicken Creole is deeply flavorful and comforting, showcasing tomatoes, onion, celery, green

It was good, but seemed a bit bland. The second time I made it I subbed chicken broth for the water, added some Tony\u2019s original creole seasoning, and some sausage. DIVINE! Served over white rice simmered in chicken broth instead of water. I live in a small town with very limited culinary options, so we cook at home a lot. We could drive into the city, but most of the Cajun \/creole places are strictly seafood and I\u2019m allergic to shellfish, so I can\u2019t eat at any of them.

Like the other reviewers, I used Rotel tomatoes (original), which added quite a bit of heat. I added a few more plain canned diced tomato, as Rotel is only 10 ounces. I omitted using cayenne altogether. I omitted the water, as well, and subbed in with 3\/4 cup chicken broth. While browning the chicken I dusted it with garlic power and a generous amount of paprika for color. Finally, I topped the finished dish with a parm\/asiago blend cheese. Without these changes, the dish would have been too bland for our tastes, but I appreciate the overall health of the recipe.
