Creole Chicken Recipe image

Spicy seasoned chicken thighs are cooked in Spanish rice. This is a good meal for a busy evening. After seasoning chicken and browning, it is left to cook while you tend to other preparations. This can be very spicy.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless chicken thighs, or more to taste
1 pinch Creole seasoning, or more to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 cup water
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6.8 ounce) package Spanish-style rice mix

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs with Creole seasoning.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken in the melted butter until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add tomatoes with green chile peppers, water, tomato sauce, and Spanish-style rice mix to the same skillet; stir well. Return chicken to the rice mixture and bring to a boil.
