Creole Chicken Piquant Skillet with Tomatoes, Capers, and Pickles
  1. 1

    In a shallow bowl, mix 0.5 cups of All-purpose Flour with 0.5 tsp of Creole Seasoning. Dredge 16.0 oz of Chicken Breast Tenders in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess so the coating is light and even.

  2. 2

    Heat 1.0 tbsp of Olive Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the floured 16.0 oz of Chicken Breast Tenders until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Add 10.0 oz of Diced Diced Tomatoes With Green Chile Peppers, 0.25 cups of Diced Sweet Pickles, 2.0 tbsp of Red Wine Vinegar, 2.0 tbsp of Drained Capers, and 2.0 cloves of Crushed Garlic Clove(s) to the skillet; simmer together until the 16.0 oz of Chicken Breast Tenders are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes more.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
