Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large red onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 ears of corn, kernels sliced off (or 3 cups thawed frozen corn)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped pickled hot peppers
4 cups cubed cornbread, preferably stale (about 1/2-inch cubes)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, celery, corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the pickled peppers and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornbread to combine. Cut 1 tablespoon butter into small cubes and scatter over the top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until golden brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHICKEN CREOLE



Chicken Creole image

This is a very forgiving recipe - add or reduce seasonings to your taste. I've been making this for over 20 years and ever so often I'm asked - Have you fixed Chicken Creole lately? So much for subtle hints. I serve this over my own yellow rice (just add turmeric to your rice as it cooks) as that is how we prefer it. Some fresh baked French Bread w/garlic butter and large tossed salad. Very hearty meal that will leave guests begging for another Mardi Gras invite.

Tips for Making Creole Chicken:

  • Use a good quality chicken. The better the chicken, the better the dish will be. Look for a chicken that is free-range and organic, if possible.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Creole chicken is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good choices include celery, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the spices. Creole seasoning is a blend of many different spices, so it is easy to adjust the flavor to your liking. Some common spices used in Creole seasoning include paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Serve Creole chicken with your favorite sides. Some good choices include rice, mashed potatoes, or green beans.

Conclusion:

Creole chicken is a flavorful and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy recipe, give Creole chicken a try.
