Here's another Cajun favorite that is so perfect for those busy days. The succulent chicken is packed with flavor and the caramelized onions and mushrooms make the most delicious gravy that you can imagine. So easy to make, and so mouthwatering good, too. Bon appetit!
Smothered Chicken w/ Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbs.'s vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 can chunky portabello mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbs. Cajun seasoning
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Few shakes Tabasco
Season chicken breasts with the Cajun seasoning, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco. In large skillet, brown chicken breasts in oil, on medium high, heat for about 10 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and add onions and mushrooms.
Add a little bit of water, if needed, and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release brown bits. Continue to cook, stirring often, until onions and mushrooms have a caramel color and are softened.
Add 1/4 cup of water, parsley, plus a little more Cajun seasoning, stir, and return the chicken to the skillet. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.Garnish with green onions and serve over hot cooked rice with your favorite veggies and a nice loaf of French bread for a hearty meal. Cest bon, cher!

Interesting to see the description "Smothered Chicken!" Was it suffocated I wonder? LOL
Joking aside I am sure it is delicious. Caramelized onions. I bet this is fabulous - I wonder who thought of this combination.
Loved the Bayou Boogie. And of course my compliments on your stamina for embarking on yet another feast at Downtown Alive. The mind boggles. Puff Pant! Must have another Rum Hurricane! LOL
Oh looking at your little piccie of you in the red car waving to me LOL. Is that a turkey you have on board or maybe a smothered chicken! LOL
Great to visit as always ~ Hugs ~ Eddie
that chicken sounds really good. and I loved the pics of mardi gras tho I have to say, I really hate that green, gold and purple have taken over. I like it better when it didn't have 'official' colors. the song clip though kept stopping while it loaded. probably my computer. it's been slow lately.
rosaria- Thanks! You got that right, cher! It all goes along with living in Cajun country! You should move here! Cheers!

Eddie- You crack me up! Smothered Chicken is an old Cajun recipe, going back several generations. And no, the chicken wasn't suffocated. lol Glad you enjoyed the clip, and hopefully, you have found me in the slide show, by now. lol And as you know, by now, not a turkey, but a hula girl! lol
