Ingredients
- chicken breasts, diced up. I used 4 big pieces that I purchased in a value pack on sale.- garlic, minced. I used 5-7 cloves, adjust to suit your taste.- onions, diced. I used 1/2 of a very large yellow onion.- celery, diced. I used about 1.5 cups.- green pepper, diced. I used 1 one pepper.- canned tomatoes. I used a whole can with diced chiles.- olive oil to saute veggies in.SPICEScuminpaprikasalt-free creole seasoning mix such as Chef Paul Magic parsley - fresh if you have itred pepper flakeskosher salt - pinchgumbo file powder
Directions
1. chop up ingredients and get out a big pot with a lid.
2. saute garlic and onions on medium high heat, in olive oil until transparent. Add the celery about 1/2 way through.
3. Add the chicken and canned tomatoes, plus about 3/4 of a can of water (refill the tomato can).
4. Add the spices. I like spicy stuff so I use apprx. a teaspoon of each, and don't measure anything. I suggest you season to taste based on your preferences.
5. Let it cook about halfway through - maybe 10 minutes or less, stirring regularly.
6. Add the green pepper and finish cooking.

Serve over brown rice.

I also intend to use this in wraps as leftovers, which is why I made a big batch!
