Creole Chicken

It has been 10 years since I devised this dish, and it’s still one of my family’s favorites.”

How to Make It

Step 1

In a food processor, blend scallions, garlic, lime juice, 1 Tbsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Coat chicken with mixture. Place in a ziplock bag. Seal and chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 2

Warm oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry; brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Reduce heat to medium; add 3 Tbsp. water. Scrape up browned bits from pan. Sauté onion and bell pepper until tender, about 5 minutes. Add jalapeño. Sauté 1 minute longer.

Step 3
