Chicken Etoufee
Ingredients
3/4 cup onion, half fine cut and half rough, cut.
3/4 cup bell pepper, fine cut.
3/4 cup celery, fine cut.
3 little green onions, fine chop.
1 large clove garlic, fine chop.
2 tsp cajun chicken spice mixture.
3 pats butter.
3 tbsp dry roux.
3 cup chicken broth.
2 chicken breasts.
Preparation
Pre cook the chicken breasts in micro wave for about 10 minutes on
high. Set aside to cool. When cool, pull into strips about the size
of a small finger. (You could use an equal amount of leftover roast
chicken.)
Singe the rough cut onions in cast iron skillet over medium high
heat. When lightly browned (3-5 minutes). Add the rest of the
vegetables, the garlic and the spices. Add butter and sizzle over
medium heat until the vegetables are limp, about 5 minutes. Stir in
the dry roux. Then stir in the chicken broth and simmer uncovered
over low heat for 15 min. Add the chicken and continue to simmer for
another 10-15 minutes. The sauce should be about as thick as a thin
gravy.
Serve over rice.
Makes two generous servings.
