Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere’s)
- 1 (16 ounce) package boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL)
- ¼ cup diced sweet pickles
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
Instructions
- Mix flour and Creole seasoning together in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken through flour mixture, shaking of excess.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, pickles, vinegar, capers, and garlic; simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- If you have concerns that this may be too spicy, there is a mild version of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles available.

Reviews
My hard to please family loved this recipe. It was so easy and fast. Served with Jasmine rice and air fryer Brussel Sprouts. Perfect.
This was really quick and easy to do and tasted great. I did mistakenly buy dill pickles but diced and used a bit of sugar and came out quite nice. Definitely would do again
Amazing, just amazing!
Oh my gosh this is a keeper!!! Went back for seconds!!
I didn’t have capers, I used sweet pickle relish instead of dicing sweet pickes, and I added some salt. Quick & easy dinner! Super easy and everyone liked the ‘sauce’. The chicken was tender but I don’t think the cajun seasoning was noticeable. Really good though and we’ll make again.
Fast and tasteful, make sure to drain the capers.
Very tasty! I didn’t have any capers and substituted rice wine vinegar for red wine vinegar. Nevertheless, it’s still an easy, tasty dish that I will definitely make again!
Very easy and delicious. I used sweet relish because that’s what I had and it was great!
Fast, easy and delicious!
This was delicious and easy. I did add extra garlic. The big mistake I made was I used Rotel HOT… still delicious but fire.
I used stewed tomato’s with jalapeno. It was very good. Chicken was tender and juicy and wife enjoyed it also.
This was pretty good. I dont like sweet pickles, so dont think I would add them next time.
Ran out of sweet pickles and used freshly crushed tomatoes and fresh chopped big Jim peppers (from my garden). Can’t wait to make it again with the pickles
Delicious and nice and spicy. I made a mistake and put 1 Tbls chili powder in before I realized it wasn’t paprika. So I just continued with 2 Tbls paprika. The recipe for the creole seasoning came from this sight. I love it and it makes a bunch!
Very easy and delicious, the tangy vinegar and pickles give this chicken dish an interesting bite. It’s perfect for a quick dinner.
I like chicken from my childhood whenever chicken is prepared at home, I used to wait for my mother’s call. PunamPaul.com have your lunch or dinner and I was the first to reach the table. Being a teen my mother used to tell me the nutrition advantage of veggies, but I start telling to her that skinless chicken provides the least amount of calories and fat, about 143 calories, 3g total fat and 1g saturated fat for half of a large boneless, skinless breast, or a 95g serving. Mom knows I love chicken too much thus she used to start her food with a smile and we all enjoy our diet together. My mom is a great chef and use to cook many recipes of chicken the recipe shared by you seems delicious and will surely try at home.
This turned out great! I used more chicken than the recipe states so I added an extra can of Rotel tomatoes. They do have one now with habanero peppers which makes the receipe very spicy! Will definitely be making this again.
I will make again. Very different tastes and easy to make.
Of all things, I didn’t have flour so I used pancake mix. It still turned out very good and I’ll definitely make it again but with flour. My husband loved it.
I’ll make it again. I substitute relish for the pickles and I added some corn and served it over white rice
I made a low carb version of this recipe. I used no sugar added sweet pickles, minced the garlic. For the breading I used carbalose flour and increased the creole seasoning slightly. Instead of chicken tenders, I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips lengthwise and flattened slightly. I also had to use more olive oil. My husband really liked this dish. His was served over a brown rice mixture.
