Chicken Creole

Ingridients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 stalk celery, sliced thin

1 green bell pepper, minced

2 (16 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 4 minutes). Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook this Creole sauce 3 minutes longer, stirring often.

Arrange the chicken breasts in an 8 x 11 inch baking dish. Pour the Creole sauce over the chicken.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken is tender and white throughout.
