Sauce Piquante au Poulet image

This traditional dish needs a lot of TLC. Cooks who need to save time may want to use the slow cooker method. You won't achieve the layers of flavor but you will still have a robust tasting dish.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 large chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless
3 medium chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
1 c onion, chopped
1/2 c celery, chopped
1/2 c bell pepper, chopped
4 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 qt chicken stock, no salt
1/2 c roux, blonde
16 oz tomatoes, canned, petite diced
6 oz tomato paste
1/2 c green onions, sliced
1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Heat lightly salted water in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. Boil chicken thighs and breasts until cook. Lower heat and simmer for 30 min.
  • 2. Remove from heat, drain stock and reserve for later. Rough chop or pull cooked chicken into 2-3 inch pieces.
  • 3. On medium heat add olive oil to Dutch oven. Pan sear chicken and remove. Add 2 T. butter and sauté onions, celery and green onions (Trinity) until onions are clear.
  • 4. Add prepared blonde roux until it begins to soften. Slowly add 1 cup of the chicken stock. Stir until well blended.
  • 5. Now add the 6 ounces of tomato pastes and 2 more cups of chicken stock. Mix well. Add in petite diced tomatoes, garlic, and bay leaf. Simmer on medium heat for 20 min.
  • 6. Add in chicken, Cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until mixture thickens completely into a smooth gravy. About 10 to 15 min. Top with green onions and parsley
  • 7. Note: you can accomplish this same dish in a slow cooker. I recommend pan searing chopped chicken and sautéing onions, celery and bellpepper. Remember to add sliced green onions and parsley right before serving!
