Instructions

  • Place the chicken into a large bowl.
  • Combine the Creole seasoning and flour and sprinkle over the chicken. Toss to coat well.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Working in batches, remove the chicken from the flour mixture, shaking off the excess and transfer to the skillet. Brown on both sides and transfer to a slow cooker.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and jalapeno to the skillet and saute for 2 minutes, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add the garlic, dried pepper flake, thyme, cayenne and bay leaves and cook another minute.
  • Add the tomatoes without any of the juice. Break up the tomatoes with a spatula.
  • Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and salt along with 1/2 cup of the juice reserved from the tomatoes.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook another minute.
  • Add the sauce to the slow cooker (be careful to not splatter any on yourself since it is hot).
  • Cover and cook on low 3 hours or until the chicken is tender but not yet falling apart.
  • Remove bay leaves before serving over hot rice, garnished with parsley.
