- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce

Serves: 4
To start, season the chicken breasts with paprika, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until blackened on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for another 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir in the chopped parsley.
To serve, spoon the blackened chicken etouffee over cooked rice. Enjoy!
This dish is a perfect example of Cajun cuisine, with its bold flavors and spicy kick. The blackened chicken adds a smoky flavor to the dish, while the vegetables and spices create a rich and savory sauce. The dish is best served over a bed of fluffy rice, which helps to soak up all the delicious flavors.
