Creole Chicken for Two

I often end up with leftover cooked chicken, which I freeze in 1 or 2 cup portions for recipes like this.

1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup celery, diced
8 oz tomato sauce
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
dash of cayenne
2 Tbs oil
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup cooked chicken or turkey
1/2 tsp dried parsley

Heat oil and cook the onion, garlic, and celery for a few minutes. Add tomato sauce, water, bay leaf, salt, and cayenne and bring to a gentle boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer about an hour. Stir in the green pepper and chicken, cover, and simmer another 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Serve over steamed rice.
