Creole Chicken in Green Chili Cream Sauce

This somewhat spicy stove top chicken dish is a flavorful and attractive dish that can be adjusted based on your preferences—if you prefer less spice, use tomatoes instead of green chilies, or cut the creole seasoning in half. If you like your creole dishes to be smokin' hot, add some cayenne pepper or double the amount of green chilies.

If you have cooked onion and green pepper in your freezer, just thaw it and heat it in a saucepan, adding the flour and following the sauce directions from there. To make this recipe easier, use thin-sliced chicken breasts.

Sides that work well with this recipe: rice (good since it has sauce), sautéed or roasted okra, salad, and other simple sides since this has a lot of flavor.
