CRUSTY CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Crusty Chicken Casserole image

This is a wonderful recipe that can be prepared in not too much time, most of the time is the long cooking time to get the yummy crusty top on this casserole. I make this with whole BBQ chicken that you can get from your supermarket, but the other night when I had planned to do this, they had sold out, so I had to buy chicken breasts instead. It was a real pain as I was late coming home from work anyway and then I had to cook the chicken. I also could not get a can of cream of chicken soup so I had to buy a knorr sachet and make the chicken soup as well so you can imagine the time this added to an already late dinner. Oh well it was really good and tasty in the end and we all enjoyed it even if it was late. I usually have left overs when I make this as there are only 3 of us. I just store the leftover in the fridge and then I reheat in the oven so you still have the crusty top.

Provided by Cheerios

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

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.
