Bloody Mary Chicken Creole
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup vodka
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon hot sauce
– 1 teaspoon celery salt
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Bring everything to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7. Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve the Bloody Mary Chicken Creole hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
9. This dish pairs beautifully with rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy with a refreshing Bloody Mary cocktail or your favorite beverage for a complete dining experience.
