olive oil, to coat skillet with
1/2 - pound smoked (or andouille) sausage, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, minced
1 bell pepper, stem & seeds removed, chopped
5 - 6 cloves garlic, smashed & roughly chopped
2 Tbsp fresh (or 1 Tbsp dried) oregano, chopped
1 (10 - ounce) can Rotel tomatoes
1 large tomato, seeds removed & chopped
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp hot sauce (or to taste)
1 tsp Creole seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
serve with roasted (or mashed) potatoes or cooked rice
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Spray a large skillet over medium heat with nonstick spray and coat it with olive oil. Brown chicken on both sides, around 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add smoked (or andouille) sausage. Add onion. Cook 3 minutes, while scraping the bottom of skillet. Add celery and bell pepper. Cook 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano. Cook 2 minutes. Stir in Rotel tomatoes and chopped tomatoes. Whisk in tomato paste, chicken broth, heavy cream, butter, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, Creole seasoning and salt. Combine, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Preheat crock pot by turning it on to the low setting.
3. When gravy has cooked, spray crock pot with nonstick spray. Place 1/3 of tomato gravy in crock pot and half of the chicken. Pour another 1/3 of gravy into crock pot. Add the other half of chicken and top with the remainder of tomato gravy. Cover crock pot with a lid and cook on the low setting 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until chicken reaches 165°F. Serve with roasted (or mashed) potatoes or cooked rice. Garnish with parsley.
What makes this dinner great is its flavor-loaded Creole tomato gravy. That is why this recipe is not just a dump and go crock pot recipe. To give the flavors of the gravy time to develop, this recipe calls for a few minutes of hands-on cooking time on the stovetop. Yes, it is easier to just place all of the ingredients into the crock pot, turn it on and return when food is finished cooking. However, if you want to maximize the flavors in this recipe, DO NOT skip the prep work.
Perfectly juicy and seasoned,
Dana
