Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken pieces with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. When it's hot, add chicken pieces, and brown well, turning them occasionally, about 15 minutes (if necessary, cook chicken in two batches to avoid crowding the pan). Transfer to a plate.
- Drain most of the fat from the pan. Add onions, half the bell peppers, 1 tablespoon parsley, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add wine, and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in tomato sauce. Return chicken to the pan, along with any accumulated juices, and add parsnips, carrots, and remaining bell peppers. Add enough water to barely cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover the pan, and simmer until chicken is almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Uncover pan, and continue simmering until chicken is done and the liquid thickens slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, and serve.

CREOLE SKILLET DINNER
While living in Canada, I sampled this colorful dish at a neighbor's. The following Christmas, I served it instead of my traditional turkey, and I received numerous compliments on it. I frequently substitute shrimp or sausage for the chicken ... or add all three. -Bonnie Brann, Pasco, Washington

Tips:
- Mise en place. Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
- Season your chicken well. Creole seasoning is a key ingredient in this dish, so don't be afraid to use it liberally. You can also add other spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This is important to ensure that the chicken is safe to eat. You can check if the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
