2 (16 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and prepped, and that all your equipment is clean and ready to use. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe: This veggie chicken Creole recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to adjust it to your own taste preferences. For example, if you like things spicy, you can add more cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of chili powder or omit it altogether.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite: This will give them the best texture and flavor. Overcooked vegetables are mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead, but the flavor will be less rich.
  • Serve over rice or your favorite grain: This will help to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Veggie chicken Creole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Plus, it is a relatively inexpensive dish to make, which is always a bonus. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy vegan meal, give this veggie chicken Creole a try. You won't be disappointed.
