Chicken Etouffee
🍴 Ingredients
- all-purpose flour salt ground black pepper ground cayenne pepper butter extra-virgin olive oil skinless boneless chicken breast halves green bell pepper onion celery garlic butter water bay leaves cooked rice
👩🍳 Directions
Prep 30 m Cook 45 m Ready In 1 h 15 m Whisk flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Heat 1/4 cup butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Dredge chicken cubes in seasoned flour and fry in the hot butter and oil until golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken, leaving butter mixture in skillet. Reduce heat to low. Stir 1 tablespoon leftover seasoned flour into pan drippings in skillet; cook and stir until the mixture forms a paste and cooks to the color of dark caramel, 10 to 15 minutes.

Add bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, and 2 more tablespoons butter to flour paste and toss to coat vegetables with butter and browned flour mixture. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover vegetables, add bay leaves, and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to skillet and cook until flavors are blended, about 10 more minutes. Serve with cooked rice
💬 Reviews (I like the recipe just changed a bit. after taking the chicken out i added the additional flour and allowed it to become a paste and brown then added the vegetables like the recipe says but instead of water I used chicken broth and added a can of stewed tomatoes. I added a bit of water to thin out. I let everything simmer until meat pulled apart. And served it over brown rice.')

💬 Reviews (I really tried to stay true to the recipe, but ran out of flour! So I used 2 cups flour, then added corn flour, rye flour, and buffalo flour till I got to a workable consistency. I also threw in some peppers to the meat just to use them up. I thought it turned out well, almost as good as the church ladies that make them back home')
