Directions:

  1. In an electric skillet or a large heavy skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Season the chicken with the Essence, and add to the fat in the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. To the pan add the onions, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and thyme, and cook until the mushrooms give off their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan. Add the reserved chicken, lower the heat, and simmer until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bacon and green onions, and stir well. Remove from the heat and serve over the Cheesy Rice Pilaf, and garnish with the parsley.
  2. Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast):
  3. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  4. 2 tablespoons salt
  5. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  6. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  7. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  8. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  9. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  10. 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  11. Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  12. Yield: 2/3 cup
  13. Recipe from New New Orleans Cooking , by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William Morrow, 1993.
  14. Cheesy Rice Pilaf:
  15. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  16. 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onions
  17. 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow bell peppers
  18. 1 cup long-grain rice
  19. 1 teaspoon salt
  20. 1 bay leaf
  21. 2 cups chicken stock
  22. 1/2 cup frozen peas
  23. 1/2 pound fontina or mozzarella, diced
  24. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  25. In a heavy, medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring until soft, about 4 minutes. Add rice, salt, and bay leaf and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the stock and stir. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add the peas, cover and continue simmering until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  26. Remove the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork. Add the cheese and parlsey, and stir. Serve immediately.
