chicken in creole sauce (salt free)

There's a fair amount of chopping, but a good way to satisfy a hankering for Cajun or Creole cooking. I used to make this a lot and then "upgraded" to make use of salt-free spice mixtures. There's a bit of "kick" to this. I serve over plain, sodium-free basmati rice. This is a good make-ahead meal.
