Chicken Louisiana
- 4 tsp. olive oil
- 1 large green pepper, chopped (about 1 1/4 c.)
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 c.)
- 1 large celery stalk, diced (about 1/2 c.)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 chicken breast halves, boned (about 1 1/2 lb.)
- 1 1/2 tsp. paprika

- Remove vegetables from the skillet and place in a dish. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet, sprinkle the chicken breasts with the paprika and cayenne pepper and cook in skillet on medium high heat, turning as needed; cook for about 5 minutes. Add back about half of the cooked vegetables to the chicken.
- Add the tomatoes, rosemary, marjoram, and bay leaves; reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is fork-tender.
