Creole Meatless Select Chikn Sliders

I used Meatless Select Chik’n Sliders in this recipe, and they stand up well to the sauce and taste wonderful. This is a quick and easy dinner.

Serves 2-4.

Ingredients:

• 2-(5 oz) cans Meatless Select Chik’n Sliders
• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/3 c chopped celery
• 1/3 c chopped onion
• 1/3 c chopped bell peppers
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1-15 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp Creole seasoning
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 sprig thyme (or 1/4 tsp dry thyme)
• 1 sprig oregano (or 1/4 tsp dry oregano)
• sea salt to taste

Directions:

1. Drain the chik’n sliders, but reserve the packing broth. Set aside.
2. In a large heavy skillet over medium, heat the oil. Add celery, onion, and bell peppers. Saute 3 minutes.
3. Add garlic and saute another minute.
4. Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, and add the Creole seasoning, bay leaf, thyme and oregano. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, adding some of the reserved vegetarian chicken broth if needed.
5. Add Meatless Select Chik’n Sliders and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer; cook on low another 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve over steamed rice.
