Creole Chicken Bread

I love Creole Chicken Bread!























Creole Chicken Bread is my favorite savory bread to make. 

It’s like a pizza without the red sauce. Traditionally it’s made with shrimp but my baby girl is allergic to seafood so I substitute the shrimp for chicken so she can enjoy it.   

If you like shrimp then use that instead, or add both which would make it super savory!


 I usually serve this bread with a side salad but it's also pretty good and filling alone.

  2. Hello Pamela,
    I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you like seafood it's really good with shrimp or crawfish. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
