Course: Easy Weeknight Meals
Cuisine: French Creole

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Gardein Chick'n Scallopini frozen
  • 3 teaspoons Zatarain Creole seasoning divided use
  • 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided use
  • 1 sweet Vidalia onion chopped
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves pressed or minced
  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free or unbleached flour
  • 1 1/2 -2 cups Imagine Organic No-Chicken Broth heated
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley optional

Method
 

  1. Sprinkle the frozen Gardein Chick'n Scallopini with 1-2 teaspoons of the Creole seasoning. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet, and saute the Chick'n Scallopini on each side for about 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat. Remove to a clean plate while you prepare the sauce.
  2. There should still be some oil in the skillet, which now has picked up some of the Creole seasoning, but feel free to add up to a tablespoon more oil if you need it for sauteing.
  3. Saute the onion for about 5-6 minutes until translucent. Add the celery and chopped red and green bell peppers and cook for about 5 more minutes. Add the minced or pressed garlic and cook for a minute more.
  4. Add the flour and remaining Creole seasoning and cook for about a minute or so more. Slowly stir in the heated broth and cook until thickened. Taste the sauce and adjust with salt, pepper, and a little more Creole seasoning to taste.
  5. Over low heat, put the cooked Chick'n Scallopini back in the skillet to reheat and coat with the white Creole sauce. Sprinkle with optional chopped parsley and serve with steamed green beans and toasted slivered almonds.
