OMG Creole Seasoning

For my first contribution to this post, I want to tell everyone about this new, magical, taste-world I was recently introduced to...
The world of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning:

I'm actually pretty new to the world of spicy seasonings and foods; up until recently I was always weary of things with any heat because I'm a wimp! However, I've been trying to "train" my tastebuds to tolerate (and even enjoy!) more spicy things. I love food, and I love trying new things...I don't want my cowardly tastebuds to hold me back from experiencing new flavors.

So, I tried this creole seasoning. And I love it!

Tonight, I wanted to make something quick, easy, and tasty using this seasoning. I used some random veggies in my fridge with some chicken breast and rice, and came up with this incredibly yummy concoction:

It looks simple, but it wasn't bland or boring at all, thanks to the amazing seasoning!

I took one boneless, skinless chicken breast and added it to my cute little mini electric skillet along with some chicken broth. I also chopped up cabbage, carrots, yellow zucchini, onion, and garlic clove and added them to the skillet, along with a teaspoon of the creole seasoning. I covered it, and cooked it on medium for around 35 minutes, which was long enough to make the chicken incredibly tender and juicy, and the veggies were done but not mushy. I served it over some white rice, and it was awesome! Very filling, and for anyone interested in Weight Watchers Points, it was only 10 points for the whole bowl. (5, if you leave out the rice!)

Just for fun, here's a photo of my trusty tiny electric skillet:

It hasn't failed me yet!
