Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup dry farina cereal (such as Cream of Wheat®)
¼ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 egg
2 pounds chicken thighs
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 potatoes, cut crosswise into thin slices
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
¼ cup butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine cereal, cornmeal, ginger, and turmeric in a resealable plastic bag. Shake well until evenly mixed.
  • Lightly beat egg in a separate bowl. Dip chicken thighs into the egg, one at time, and coat well. Place each thigh in the bag with the cereal mixture, seal, and shake well to coat.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken thighs; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer chicken onto a serving plate, reserve oil in the pan, and allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cook potatoes in the reserved oil until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and cook until softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  • Arrange cauliflower florets along the inside edge of a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish. Cover the bottom with potatoes.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened to desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Add about 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese and stir until melted.
  • Pour sauce over the casserole, coating the vegetables well. Add chicken thighs and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is browned, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
