Creole Chicken Recipe image

Spicy seasoned chicken thighs are cooked in Spanish rice. This is a good meal for a busy evening. After seasoning chicken and browning, it is left to cook while you tend to other preparations. This can be very spicy.

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.

CREOLE CHICKEN AND SHRIMP



Creole Chicken and Shrimp image

I have been tweaking this recipe for over 20 years to recreate the wonderful Creole flavors of New Orleans. This combination of flavors is complex and is not spicy, especially when served over rice. Prepare the recipe the day before (except for the shrimp & cream) and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight for even better flavor. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Provided by Catherine B.

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 slices bacon, chopped
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb chicken breast, skinless, boneless, chopped into small bites
1 lb andouille sausage, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
3/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1 celery rib, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 (14 ounce) can chunky tomato sauce (Muir Glen Fire Roasted is terrific)
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon sugar
6 shakes Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's is my favorite)
2 tablespoons parsley, minced
1 cup half-and-half (can substitute evaporated milk)
cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Brown bacon in a large, heavy soup pot. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add 1 Tablespoon Canola oil to the bacon grease in the hot pan.
  • In a bowl, toss the minced vegetables with the flour; then add this mixture to the hot pan of grease. Stir and cook quickly until caramel brown to create a chunky roux. Remove veggie/roux mixture from the pan and set aside. Don't worry if there are still brown scrapings in the bottom of the pan.
  • Add 1 Tablespoon Canola oil to the hot pan, then add chicken chunks and lightly brown chicken.
  • Return the chopped bacon and cooked veggie mixture to the pan along with the browned chicken. Add the sliced Andouille sausage.
  • Add to the pan: sherry, salt, Worcestershire, Tabasco, pepper, thyme, sugar, Creole seasoning, and parsley, stirring in and including the scrapings from the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to low and simmer with the lid on for 30 minutes.
  • Creole can be cooled and refrigerated at this point to rest overnight. When ready to serve, heat slowly and return to a low simmer before continuing with the directions.
  • Remove pan lid and add shrimp and cream to the mixture. Heat thoroughly for about 10 minutes on low, stirring gently, until the sauce is hot and the shrimp are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.
  • Season with salt if desired.
  • Serve over hot fluffy rice, with a spicy Caesar salad and enjoy!
