Creole Skillet Dinner image

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

The chicken was a bit dry, but the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I think I would add more liquid next time.
