How to Make Fast N Easy Creole Chicken

  1. Pat 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 stalks celery (chopped) to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  5. Stir in 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup chili sauce, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve the Creole chicken hot over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy with crusty French bread and a crisp salad!
