Creole Chicken

I’ve decided to start posting all my monthly recipes here on the website, even if I didn’t make a video. Mostly because I want to remember what I made next year, but also because people are asking what I have in between videos. Yes, I do new recipes not on video. I am literally always adventuring in my kitchen.
Tonight’s non video recipe was a request from my husband. I asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner this month and he pulled up recipe roulette and starting spouting off ideas. Creole Chicken stuck! However, in the middle of making it, I realized the recipe I’d been given was a FARCE! It had NO creole seasoning in it! So I hopped into action and adjusted this recipe to add some good ole creole seasoning (and some umami seasoning) to give it just the right flare. And, it was a hit! 🙂

Check out that recipe below and print yourself off a new adventure for this week!
