MAMA'S CORNBREAD AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• 1. Preheat ovent to 325 degrees.
• 2. Cook (boil) chicken breasts until done; save 1 cup broth. (For added flavor, I added 1/2 cup of chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion and 3 chicken bouilon cubes to this broth) Freeze remaining broth to use in other dishes.
• 3. Remove chicken from broth and cool enough to handle. Pull chicken off bones; cut in bite size pieces; set aside.
• 4. In the mean time, bake your favorite cornbread. After baking cornbread, let cool. Crumble up corn bread fine and pour melted margarine over corn bread. Mix well; set aside. NOTE 2: if cornbread is warm just add butter that is at room temperature to the warm crumbs and stir to combine. NOTE 2: I made a 10-inch skillet of cornbread and took out 2 slices to serve with our meal.
• 5. To the cut up chicken add 1 cup chicken broth and both cans of soup. NOTE: If you don't have cream of celery, use 2 cans of cream of chicken.
• 6. In a greased casserole dish place a little more than half (I used about 2/3's of this mixture) of the corn bread mixture; spoon meat mixture on top of cornbread mixture. Add boiled eggs if desired, and top with remaining corn bread mixture.
• 7. Bake at 325 degrees until bubbly. Ovens vary so start watching around 30 to 35 minutes. It took my dish 45 minutes. The last 2 minutes I turned the broiler on to give the top of casserole a toasty finish.
• 8. NOTE: I served mashed potatoes with Lynn Socko's https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lynn-socko/chicken-gravy/quick-easy-healthy-gravy, peas I canned this summer and a slice of cornbread...YUM!

TOMATO, RICE, AND CHICKEN THIGH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Trim excess fat from thighs. Wash and pat dry. Season moderately with pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Pour sherry over top. Remove chicken to a plate. Drain excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons drippings in the skillet.
• Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and saute over medium heat until onions are translucent and peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and saffron; bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and lay chicken thighs in a single layer over the rice mixture.
• Bake, covered tightly, in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• When the casserole has about 5 minutes left, melt remaining tablespoon butter in a skillet. Add tomato slices and saute until heated through.
• Place a tomato slice on top of each chicken thigh, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
