Creole chicken. Spicy, creamy, a little bit rich. Satisfying. Maybe not what jumps to mind when you think comfort food but satisfying in a way only a fricassee can be.
This is a dish that isn’t too fiddly. Measurements don’t need to be that precise. Leave your measuring spoons and cups in the drawer and just cook. Live a little. You’ll surprise yourself.
This creole chicken recipe uses a lot of creole seasoning. High salt content, pre-fab mixes like Tony Chachere’s are going to push you into ridiculously salty territory. You need to make your own. Sorry. Mine is a good, simple seasoning mix. Others will work fine – just modify the salt content accordingly.
Creole chicken is just simple cajun comfort food.

Creole chicken works well with pan-fried gnocchi or, if you want to go for it, drop dumplings. If you make dumplings, increase the amount of stock by 1/2 cup and add them to the stock before you add the cream.
