I received this recipe from a cooking class at Williams-Sonoma. The recipe comes from a local private chef. It's a simply and fairly healthy recipe that packs a lot of flavor. The chef recommends using Paul Prudhome's cajun seasoning and buying your tomato paste in the tube.
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (see directions)
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning (see directions)
1 quart chicken stock
1 bunch scallion, sliced thin
cooked rice
Directions:
1. Cut chicken into one inch chunks and toss with 2 tablespoons of cajun seasoning.
2. Melt butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium high heat. Add chicken, onions, celery, and red pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes. Pick out chicken and set aside. (you don't want to overcook the chicken).
3. Add tomato paste and stir to distribute.
4. Add flour and cook while stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
5. Add chicken stock and 2 tablespoons of cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil.
6. Add chicken back to pot and cook over medium heat until chicken is cooked through.
7. Add scallions, check for seasoning and serve over cooked rice.
