Tasty Tuesday: Publix Party Chicken

You know last week, I said we eat a lot of chicken. It's very true, and I'm back again today with another chicken recipe. 


This one comes from my Mom, who cut it out of a Publix flyer.

Ingredients:


3 Tbsp Butter
1/4 cup flour
4 Chicken breasts
pepper
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheese




Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425. I recommend cutting the chicken into bite-size pieces. ( I didn't , and wish I had, so do!)

Cut the butter into pieces, and let it sit at room temperature until soft.

Put flour and pepper in a  ziploc bag, and add chicken. Shake to coat. Put the floured chicken in the dish.

In a bowl, combine the soup and mayo, and spread over the chicken.

In the butter bowl, add the Panko crumbs and cheese, and mix with a fork or your hands until it's crumbly like wet sand.  Put this on top of the sauce on the chicken.

Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes. Take the foil off and bake 10-15 more minutes until golden brown and chicken is cooked through.

 I served this with steamed asparagus, but Publix recommends broccoli salad. I'm sure any green veggie would be great, or even just a good salad. 

Overall, it was a very yummy dish that reminded me of poppyseed chicken. It definitely made me feel Southern to be eating chicken with cream of soup, mayo, and cheese. 

 Leftovers kept well in the fridge, and I'm sure it would also freeze well to be cooked later.  Best of all, it came together quickly and was made from mostly pantry ingredients. I had everything but the chicken in my fridge from other things I've made/ make. 

I hope you make this and enjoy!

Buffalo blue cheese chicken

My friend Kristen and I both eat a lot of chicken. I'm pretty sure one of these days I'm going to start clucking. So I'm always looking for new ways to fix chicken that are quick, easy, and healthy.

Who doesn't love buffalo wings? I definitely do, and this wraps up all those flavors. 

To start, you will need:

Chicken breasts

Laughing Cow Blue Cheese Wedges

Hot Sauce ( I prefer Frank's)

Cut a slit into the side of your chicken, making a pocket for your cheese. Do not cut all the way through!

Unwrap a cheese wedge, and combine it with hot sauce to taste. You can add some cream cheese to make it creamier and melt better. I didn't and wish I had. Stuff this inside your chicken's pocket.

Close with toothpicks. That way all the cheesy goodness will stay inside.

Brush more hot sauce on top of the chicken.  You can definitely coat the chicken breasts with panko bread crumbs if you want a crunchy "fried" tasting outside. 

Bake at 350 until done, 20-25 minutes. 

Enjoy!

Overall, it was really yummy, and tasted like a hot wing with blue cheese. I definitely would add cream cheese if i made it again to make it cheeseier and melt better. I also think panko on top would make a great complement to the melty cheese. 

Thanks to Kristen for the recipe idea!
