Chicken & Okra Creole Recipe
This Chicken & Okra Creole Recipe is a delicious New Orleans classic and a change of pace from the traditional Gumbo.
A “Creole”, like Shrimp Creole or Chicken and Okra Creole, is a tomato-based spicy stew and differs from Étouffée and Gumbo is that it does not start with a roux. Making this a quick meal for a busy weeknight.
To really speed things up, use rotisserie chicken, and your done in under 20 minutes. Boom.
Chicken and Okra Creole
A spicy Creole stew filled with amazing taste but done in a flash. Can't find or don't like okra, substitute green beans or eggplant. Okra has a thickening quality so your stew will not thicken with green beans or eggplant, you may need to add a little corn starch if you'd like the stew a little thicker.
This meal is packed with wonderful flavors and is special enough for a celebration meal but fast and easy enough for any weeknight meal. Dinner in less than 30 minutes!
