Directions:Cook margarine and flour together to make brown roux. Set aside until needed.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Dredge in flour and
shake off excess.
If roasting, place on oiled sheet pan and roast in hot oven until browned, set aside.
If you plan to saute the chicken, saute in hot oil until browned, set aside.
In same pan, sauté onion, celery and green peppers until softened. Add broth,
seasonings, wine, Worcestershire sauce and enough roux to thicken the sauce to gravy
consistency, simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, adjust thickness with additional stock or roux
as necessary.
Placed browned chicken in hotel pan and pour enough sauce to half fill the pan. Cover
with foil and finish cooking in oven until the chicken is done (165 degrees internal
temperature for 15 seconds). Uncover and garnish with chopped parsley.
