Looked for another chicken recipe and a way to use up the celery in the fridge and found this. Went together relatively quickly, lots of chopping and it made lots of yummy sauce. I used smoke summer sausage as my girlfriend isn't fond of chorizo and other spicy sausages. Used Zatarain's Creole spice and I served over Zatarain's Dirty Rice. Lots of leftover for taking to work. A keeper recipe for certain. Easy enough to do on a weeknight. -
We loved this! Everything about the recipe is winning: the directions, the quantities, the process and, most important, the flavorful result! I did not omit anything. This was a certified crowd pleaser, and using these amounts it gave 5 of us generous servings with a leftover serving in the fridge. I would happily make this again and serve it to company. Thank you for posting this great dish! -
This was quick to make, and fairly easy. I had to add another 1/2tbsp oil to saute the veggies..maybe my sausage wasn't as fatty as others? The creamy sauce was just right...not too thin, not too thick. Served over orzo pasta, it was a winner.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
