If you have never had Creole seasoning, go buy some. It is inexpensive and works well on chicken and fish. It is a bit spicy, due to the red pepper, but it isn't hot; hmmm does that make sense. Anyways, I paired the chicken with some fresh veggies and lemon juice. I cut my chicken into bite size pieces and ate it salad style. However, I would suggest serving it as a chicken breast with the relish on the side and top giving it a very fresh and summery,but sophisticated look. Try it and love it!
