J Gumbo's Drunken Chicken is a dish known for its bold flavors and comforting warmth. Here's a recipe to take you on a flavorful journey reminiscent of this Cajun-inspired dish:
Ingredients: – 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade) – 2 tablespoons olive oil – 1 large onion, diced – 3 cloves garlic, minced – 1 bell pepper, diced – 1 cup sliced mushrooms
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained – 1 cup chicken broth – 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc) – 1/4 cup heavy cream – Salt and pepper to taste – Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions: 1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, rubbing it in to ensure even coating. 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften. 4. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, and dry white wine. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. 6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly. 8. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. 10. Serve the J Gumbo's Drunken Chicken hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. 11. Enjoy this flavorful journey with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
