Spicy Chicken Creole





This is my variation of Shrimp Creole for those who prefer to not eat shellfish. Some people are allergic to shellfish and are unable to eat any variety of it. This gives them an alternative using chicken, but the flavor is definitely still there for lovers of Creole.

Either dice the chicken after chopping the vegetables or use a seperate cutting board for the chicken to prevent cross contamination.
