Creole Sauced Chicken

I love this recipe served over linguine or rice with all the sauce spooned over it ;-)

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 stalk celery, sliced thin
• 1 green bell pepper, minced
• 2 (16 oz.) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook sauce 3 minutes longer, stirring often.

Arrange the chicken breasts in an 8 x 11 inch baking dish. Pour the Creole sauce over the chicken. Bake about 20 minutes or until the chicken is done and tender.
