A vibrant and quick-to-make Chicken Creole recipe that brings the flavors of Louisiana to your table in just 20 minutes.
Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomatoes, green bell pepper, celery, onion, and garlic to the skillet.
Stir the vegetables well to combine with the chicken and juices.
Stir in the basil, parsley, crushed red pepper, and salt. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed during the simmering process.
Serve the Chicken Creole over cooked rice or pasta, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
For a healthier option, serve over brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
