Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup onion strips
3/4 cup cored, seeded and julienned green pepper
3/4 cup sliced celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon paprika
1 cup peeled, diced tomatoes, or 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce (like Tabasco)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
4 tablespoons water or chicken broth
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place half a chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap. Pound lightly to a thickness of one-quarter inch with a flat mallet or meat pounder. Repeat with the remaining halves.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, celery, garlic and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, until the onions become transparent. Add the paprika, the tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the Worcestershire sauce and the hot-pepper sauce. Simmer until the sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken breasts until golden on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook for 4 minutes more or until done. Be careful not to overcook.
  • Add the vinegar, water or chicken broth, cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Keep warm.
  • To serve, divide the creole sauce among 4 serving plates. Place the chicken breasts over the sauce and pour the gravy from the skillet over them. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
  • Choose the right chicken breasts: For this recipe, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They will cook more evenly and quickly than bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're browning the chicken breasts, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Cook the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest: After you've cooked the chicken breasts, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts creole style is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful creole sauce made with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices. Serve the chicken breasts with rice or mashed potatoes and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
