Needs some help to make this a good creole dish. As written there is nothing creole about it. Add some creole seasoning found in the herb/spice section of your supermarket or add your own. This is more like a cacciatore dish but even calling it that isn't quite what it is. If you want it cacciatore add some Italian seasoning found in a jar in the herb section or make your own: oregano basil rosemary. This dish just doesn't quite make it as a creole dish or a cacciatore dish. Read More

This was really good. It wasn't too too spicy but just perfect for me and my husband. We love chicken and we are always looking for new ways to cook it and this was a keeper! I served it over white rice and with italian bread to sop up all the extra delicious sauce. Yum! Read More

This was a pretty good recipe and very simple. I served it over rice to "catch" the sauce which made a very simple meal with the addition of a vegetable. I only used one can of tomatoes and diced three fresh roma tomatoes into the pan instead. The fresh tomato chucks made this look fabulous. I will probably up the amount of cayenne I use next time.

This was super yummy and very easy to make. I used two cans of diced tomatos with garlic and onions. Next time I will definitely add more cayenne pepper for a little bit of a kick. I served it over brown rice. Fabulous! Read More

I agree with the recipe description that this is super simple to make and very tasty! I decided to make the whole recipe stove-top which worked out just fine. I added a bit of extra seasoning (parsley extra bay leaves). I served this over brown rice to which I'd added cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar - a very delicious combination of flavors and spices!

It was a quick and easy recipe and my family really enjoyed it. Added a little more hot spicing and a handful of shrimp(fresh frozen from Prince William Sound where we live). I'll definitely make it again and have forwarded it to some friends. Read More

I have been making this for a few years now and I LOVE it! It is easy and tasty especially if you can let it sit and simmer for a while to let the flavors blend! Read More
