CHICKEN IN A CLOUD



Chicken in a Cloud image

Creamy chicken and veggies nestled in a fluffy cloud of mashed potatoes, topped with melted cheese, true comfort food at it's finest! A simple and easy recipe, this casserole can be assembled in advance and popped into the oven an hour before serving. Serve with warm buttered biscuits. Enjoy! Tip: The hot mashed potatoes are especially tasty prepared with chicken broth in place of water, and cream cheese in place of the usual milk & butter. I sometimes skip the cream of chicken soup--equally delicious! Can be made using leftover rotisserie chicken.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups hot mashed potatoes
2 cups cooked cubed chicken (3 skinless boneless breasts)
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced onion flakes (or snipped fresh chives)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (or 2-3 teaspoons Dijon mustard)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter a 13 by 9 inch shallow baking dish.
  • Spread hot mashed potatoes evenly across the bottom of the baking dish, coming up the sides somewhat to create a shell.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, vegetables, soup, sour cream, onion or chives, mustard, garlic, and pepper.
  • Spread the chicken mixture on top of the mashed potatoes, and sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 45 minutes (or bake for about 1 hour if made ahead and refrigerated), until cheese is melted and casserole is hot and bubbly.
  • Remove casserole from the oven, let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Good served with warm buttered biscuits.
  • Note: This casserole is even more over-the-top awesome made with a breadcrumb or stuffing topping. Assemble the casserole as directed, reserving the grated cheese. During the last 30 minutes of baking, top casserole with 1-2 cups freshly torn soft breadcrumbs (or stuffing mix), seasoned with a pinch of poultry seasoning and a few dashes of celery seeds. Drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter, and then top with the grated cheese. Bake until topping is lightly browned and casserole is hot and bubbling. Extra yummy!

CHEF JOHN'S CLOUD EGGS



Chef John's Cloud Eggs image

You've probably seen these things blowing up on social media recently, and by recently, I mean like 2 years ago. These are very easy to do, very fun to make, super cool to look at, and very enjoyable to eat. This could also be a pretty cool menu item for a Mother's Day brunch. Serve on generously buttered toast with a pinch of cayenne and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt.

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon white vinegar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®) and butter lightly.
  • Crack 1 egg into a clean hand and then separate carefully by letting the egg white drip down between your fingers into a large bowl. Reserve the yolk in a separate, smaller bowl. Repeat with second egg.
  • Pour vinegar into the egg whites, add salt, and whip with a whisk until we have relatively firm, but not dry, peaks.
  • Spoon onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not too wide, as we want some height here. Shape as desired and make a small depression in the top centers using a spoon for yolks.
  • Bake in center of the preheated oven until they just start to take on some golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add yolks and bake until yolks are heated through, but still runny, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve on butter toast.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect chicken in a cloud, start with high-quality ingredients. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are fresh and evenly sized. The eggs should be fresh and at room temperature.
  • When whisking the eggs, do so vigorously until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create the cloud-like texture of the dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Cook it over medium heat until it is just cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the chicken in a cloud immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Garnish the chicken in a cloud with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken in a cloud is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a fun and creative way to serve chicken to kids. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect chicken in a cloud that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
