This was pretty good! Came together quickly and was easy to make. I cut the chicken up into bite-sized pieces, and I sauteed the veggies a bit before adding in the tomatoes so they wouldn't be too crispy at the end for our liking. I added the chicken in with the veggies to simmer, and I stirred in the cooked rice at the end to serve family-style. It was great as-is, but I think I'll swap out some Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning for the chili powder next time for a stronger kick. Delicious!
We had this dish tonight and it was delicious. So easy to prepare. I made a couple of minor changes. I cut my chicken breast into strips to cook faster and it did. I also sprinkled them with creole seasoning before sauteing them to give them a little flavor thanks to a reviewer. I used fire roasted tomatoes and brown rice to complete the meal. This recipe is a real winner. Both hubby and I cleaned our plates.Volunteer Field Editor
This was a quick, good dish for a fast dinner. I made my own creole seasoning rather than use the chili powder. The veggies were still crisp tender which is what we like rather than mushy veggies.
This chicken recipe is great for a fast weeknight meal. I have made it a couple of times and it is definitely a keeper! Very tasty!
we loved this recipe i modfied it a bit and cubed the 2 chick breasts and browned them in a little olive oil, i used no salt added tomatoes, 1 green pepper, 2 ribs of celery, 2 med onions, tablespoon of chilli powder and tbs of thyme....it was fantastic
great for a weekend when you want something fast, easy but still healthy. i've made it several times. i've also cut up the chicken breasts into small strips. i'd recommend!
