That looks really good. I’ve never made a sauce piquant with chicken. I’ll have to try it.

My favorite thing to do make with a deer neck is a sauce piquant. Looks delicious.

We received a whole set of Magnalites for a wedding gift 35 years ago. Still use them all.

I'm interested in making this but don't see where to add Rotel, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, or browned chicken pieces. Am I not seeing it, with my senior eyes.

That looks great. I love sauce piquants. I like gumbos also, but I cook/eat sauce piquant way more often.

A few things to consider adding if you wanted to mess around with the recipe:
Poblano pepper diced (throw in with trinity+pope into roux)
Some white/cayenne/chili pepper

I've been using a good sauce piquant recipe for years but decided to try the Donald Link recipe from Real Cajun. Damn, it was so much better than what I had been making (which was pretty good). Link's was a little more trouble, but it was definitely worth the effort.

Here is a thread that has a copy of the recipe and pics of another poster's results. LINK

You put tomato sauce and paste in your etouffee?

Looks good. Try adding a little all-spice. Gives it a nice flavor.

I was going to say it looked more like a stew. Mine comes out much redder than that but to each their own
