Casserole Essentials Cheesy Chicken And Veggies Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH VEGETABLES

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.

CASSEROLE ESSENTIALS: CHEESY CHICKEN, AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• You will need a baking dish, or ovenproof skillet to make this recipe. If you go the route of using an ovenproof skillet, you can make this a one-pan dish.
• The Veggies You can use any veggies that suit your taste, just make sure that they are evenly diced, and come out to about 1 1/2 cups in volume. I chose carrots, celery, onions, and broccoli.
• I chose a combination of cream cheese and mozzarella; however, it you do not have those, just use what you have. HEY, it is a casserole... have fun with it. No lemon pepper spice? No worries just add about an additional 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and about a teaspoon of lemon juice.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Dice the chicken into bite sized pieces.
• Add the marinade ingredients to a small bowl, add the diced chicken, and toss to combine.
• Add the oil to a saucepan over medium heat and heat up the veggies for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Do not cook until softened, just warm it up a bit.
• I am using an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20cm) glass baking dish, so I added the chicken. If you are using an ovenproof skillet remove the veggies and add the chicken.
• Divide up the softened cream cheese, evenly dot it over the top of the chicken, then add the veggies.
• Add the mozzarella on top.
• Place into the preheated oven and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 25 - 35 minutes.
• Allow the casserole to rest for, 10 minutes before serving.
• At the very last minute, my gardener suggested pepperoni, so I topped half of the casserole with pepperonis. Next time this recipe is made, the whole top will have them... So yummy.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve this cheesy dish with crusty bread, a small side salad, and great conversations. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
