Chicken Creole

(16)
"@thefeedfeed @tuttorossotomatoes (#ad)Like so many of y’all, Saturdays in the Duffy house are all about gathering with loved ones for good food and football. To make game day entertaining a breeze, I like to whip up a pot of piping hot Chicken Creole - perfect for those fall afternoons. This southern tomato-based dish can simmer on your stove all day long allowing your guests to serve themselves so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the game! When making a recipe like Chicken Creole, using only the highest quality tomatoes will do. Tuttorosso tomatoes are never processed, contain no artificial ingredients, and are canned using their Steam Sealed Flavor-LocTM system which means you have access to the most flavorful tomatoes all year long. The freshness of Tuttorosso tomatoes makes this simple dish one that will have your guests going back for more!! #ad #tuttorossotomatoes #feedfeed"
