Creole Cassoulet

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Can I combine southern creole and french? Sure why not…. This dish is made with chicken breasts and pro-cooked sausage.

Ingredients:

* 4 slices bacon, diced
* 1 chicken breast
* Salt and pepper
* 1 small onion, chopped
* handful of baby carrots chopped
* 1/4 cup chopped celery
* 12 ounces sliced precooked sausage
* 1 bay leaf
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend
* 1 can chicken broth
* 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
* 3 cans (16 ounces each) pinto beans, or about 4 to 5 cups cooked pinto beans

Preparation:
In a large pan cook the bacon, the cook the chicken in the bacon grease. Remove the chicken and cut into bite size pieces. Add the sliced sausage to the pan to crisp up a bit. Return the chicken to the pot along with all the other ingredients.

Let simmer until the carrots are done. Serve with a side of rice.
