Add the Tabasco

I once again had to clean out the freezer and based on what I found, I made a “gumbo-like” recipe.

It was a good collection but initially lacked flavor. A healthy dose of Tabasco did wonders for the dish.

Next time add in some hot sauce or at least double the spices in the recipe. I only had two chicken thighs so I added in chicken breasts too.

I thawed the corn before adding it into the pan.

The chicken and spices are added.

It is a beautiful looking dish.

I liked it once the Tabasco was added.
