Chicken and Sweet Potato Chip Casserole Recipe | Tim Clowers
Chicken and Sweet Potato Chip Casserole Recipe | Tim Clowers
Recipe by Tim Clowers, see the full recipe here. This chicken and sweet potato chip casserole is a comfort dish with a guilt free healthy side! The chicken is crusted in potato chips placed over rice to deliver all the textures and the ease you crave for a busy weeknight meal. My nephew had a brilliant idea to make a 'healthier' casserole with some sweet potato chips we had on hand. We then took it a step further to make it Gluten Free by swapping out the Cream of Chicken for Heavy Cream. Both casseroles turned out amazing! Our kids typically ask for the Cheeseburger Casserole or Southern Chicken Casserole, but we may have found a new favorite with this one! What is Dredging Dredging is the process that gives your meat a crisp well-adhered crust. It's a standard breading procedure. To get your breading to stick to your meat, it's important you follow the steps in order. PAT MEAT DRY. You want to make sure your raw chicken is patted dry with a paper towel before coating it in the flour. SEASONING FLOUR. Before dunking the chicken in the flour, mix seasonings in to further flavor your chicken. Think of the flour as the "glue" for the egg wash. EGG WASH. Dunk floured chicken into the egg but don't let it sit and soak in the bowl. Just coat it and remove it. FINAL COATING. Lastly, place the chicken in a bowl of your crust topping. Here, we just crushed up sweet potato chips from Jackson's. Press the coating onto the chicken to make sure it's completely coated. Ingredients 1 Lb Chicken Breasts sliced thin 5 Oz Bag of Sweet Potato Chips 1¼ Cup Rice Flour 5 Eggs 4 Cups Cooked Rice 10 Oz Birds Eye Mixed Vegetables 10.5 Oz Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup or heavy cream for gluten free 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese shredded 1½ teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Pepper 1 teaspoon Paprika Instructions Prepping and Dredging Chicken Mix together seasonings. Mix half the seasoning into a bowl of 1 ¼ Cup of Rice Flour. Scramble eggs in a second bowl. Finely crush up potato chips in a ziplock bag and then place into a third bowl. Pat chicken dry and then coat with rice flour. Dunk floured chicken into egg bowl and coat completely. Don't let the chicken breasts sit in the egg wash. Coat chicken in the crushed potato chips. Firmly press the crumbs onto the chicken. Air fry the chicken breasts for 12 minutes on 350°F. Flip half way. Preheat oven to 350°F for baking later. Building the Casserole Season the cooked rice with the remaining seasoning. Mix in the bag of vegetables and cream of chicken into the rice. Start the build the casserole by placing the rice mixture on the bottom of a baking dish and pressing it down with a spatula. Top the rice with ½ of the shredded cheddar cheese. Once chicken is cooked, slice it and place onto the cheese layer in the baking dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Want more Tim Clowers recipes?
